Firefox Messing With My Blog

If it isn’t one thing it is another when blogging. Your goal to produce content is rudely interrupted by another little glitch. Luckily, this time, the glitch was not difficult to fix.

While I was posting yesterday, I went to the html tab and saw this bit of script:

<input /><input type=”hidden” />

Well, of course I didn’t put it there so my initial reaction was a mini-freak out. Luckily for me, these freak outs are getting less and less the more I run into glitches.

The script is caused by a Firefox add-on, which I did not add. It is the Firefox browser highlighter that was causing the problem. The fix is quite simple, just simply uninstall the highlighter and POOF, the issue was gone.

I uninstalled the browser highlighter by going to my program files, finding Mozilla , then finding the extensions folder and deleting the highlighter.

I am not a Firefox expert, so I guess my real question is… can the automatic Firefox updates just install anything? If so, is there a way to stop it? If no one has any answers, I will continue to do research on it, but it never hurts to ask first.
