Your spyware could very well have been installed without an exploit, through a software you downloaded or even through IE if you still use it from time to time. As far as I know there are no exploits in Mozilla/Firefox that will let someone install spyware. Have you tried AdAware http://lavasoft.de? If that fails, hit ALT+CTRL+DELETE, and check out what's running in your processlist. Do a search on Google for each one that seems suspicious and see what turns up.
