Hello,
My Firefox browser today started showing little boxes with (from what I looked up on Google), are Hex codes inside.
This is on these Auran forums, and also on at least one other forum I go to. These are only in certain places, for instance where the words that say Thread and Posts. Those words do not appear. Also on Post New Thread, and so on ...
It also occurs down in the area that gives the users online.
This is Firefox 50.1.0 on Windows XP,SP3.
I had the add-ons Color That Site! and NoSquint Plus operating as usual,for a few years with no problems. I must admit to two things. I had been readjusting some colors and font sizes lately, but things have been operating correctly as late as yesterday.
The other unusual thing I did today was delete a couple of sets of cookies, some for Outbrain, and some for Doubleclick. I never have deleted any Doubleclick cookies, so this was unusual for me.
I have deleted the page settings for the add-ons, and also disabled but not uninstalled the add-ons.
My other browsers display the forum pages correctly.
A Google suggestion has said to clear the browser cache, Which I wouldn't mind since I am sure I have the latest passwords for the forums, but I truly fear losing my email login cookies. I have them in a Password protection program, but did I update it every time? I also fear the stupid Recaptcha which shows the images before changing the email password.
So, I'll ask here for opinions. Thanks much. Bob P.
