Website links are set by the creator of the website, because this is the case there is little to nothing that you can do about it.

That may be true, but it is doing it to websites that I created and maintain and I did not set them up to do that.

I am not talking about the Hyperlinks that the website creators put there. This is only happening in Firefox and nit IE.

Goto http://www.fcctwinsburg.com/

Then select It happens on several of the pages. It takes a word or two of written text changes the color of it. Puts a double underline under it. When you put your cursor over it It brings up a small advertising box.

That is what I am talking about.
