When using firefox, certain text words are coloured green and underlined and link to cheap adverts. I don't like this, I want to turn this feature off, how do i do so? Is there a way to prevent others seeing freen text if using FF to view my website?

The green text is caused by a service known as Text Enhance. It is apparently installed automatically by Adobe software. You can opt-out (which we shouldn't have to so since we never agreed to the service in the first place) by scrolling over one of the words and clicking the ? that shows up in the window, then entering a captcha. Alternatively, you can disable it by disabling your Shockwave Flash plugin. (In Firefox: Tools->Options->Add-ons->Plugins)

Thanks, Adobe. You're really making us happy.
