No, it's a DNS issue.  If "firefox" isn't found, the browser will
generally try "firefox.com", which sends you to the appropriate
mozilla server.  It's possible that some ISPs are responding to all
lookups with a "valid" address, which just happens to be an
advertising site if there's no actual resolution.
