    Check your Adblock settings. Maybe even try uninstalling and reinstalling that extension.

    From the Finder Menu select Go > Go To Folder ... and enter

    ~/library/Safari/Extensions <ENTER>

    Tell us what's in there. There's a Flash adware that installs something in this folder that does what you're describing. If you can list what's in there we can go from there.
