When I am at Yahoo or Google some of the links are hilighted in orange. Usually the links to sign-up or my accounts, with layout changes and mail also having same problem. I will click the link, it acts like it's changing pages but the same page pops back up. I'm using firefox ran through a shared hub to a broadband connection.
This started after a couple weeks of using firefox. I switched from ie because of the constant attacks of spy ware and viruses.
I don't have even a tenth of the problems that I had with ie, but this is a real pain.
Any suggestions, comments, fixes would be way cool. Thanks...ed

Your problem is not Firefox; it's that you've been infected by a search engine hijacker. Use Spybot or AdAware to try to clean your machine. I also recommend SpySweeper, but it's not free.
