Words being highlighted in firefox.

[Blarg]

I'm home for spring break right now so I'm using a different computer than normal, and for some reason when I'm browsing sites Firefox is highlighting certain words. So far it seems to only be highlighting 'game' and 'online', which makes reading very annoying. How do I fix this?

Some sites do it automatically to link to advert urls.

Well they aren't links, and so far its happening on any site that has those 2 words.

That's damn wierd, did you accidentally hit Ctrl-F and happen to have typed Game and Online in the box? lol

Yeah I thought of the stupid URL links too

Run through this list and see if you've enabled any search functions by accident.

*Edit: It also sounds like you might have Right Clicked and selected "Highlight" by accident. By clicking highlight on certain words, it will highlight just those words on whatever page you go to. That sounds more like what you're having a problem with. You should be able to clear the highlights through your preferences.
