I've never seen it. Must be something that I'm protected against.

Looks like your browser caught a bug. I used Malwarebytes to clean my computer last time. https://www.malwarebytes.org/

Yes,

1. No one else seems to have the problem.

2. The HELP forum is the better place to post about such things.

Agreed with Jim. That sounds like something that was installed by clicking on links that were questionable, not using any software protection, or downloading something that shouldn't have been downloaded or atleast deselecting the packaged software.

The OP will need to run some software to remove the malware.
