Hi...

I have noticed this problem on a few pages rendered with FF. Some of the links appear as "[AD]" on the screen. This especially happens when the "link" happens to be a thumbnail / pic / gif image.

Note: I do not have any ad blocking software installed

Any ideas folks?

Some addon may be having some problem. Disable addons one by one and find one which is not working fine. Reinstall that.

Right click on the link and click open in new tab.

Already done... did not help at all. In fact, I dont have a single add on in FF anymore.

Check your computer for spywares and viruses.

Scan with: *www.superantispyware.com/download.html also check whether ADs are appearing in other browsers or not?
