Every now and then when I open a new tab something weird will happen. Weird symbols will appear and the space for the website title and website icon will get all messed up. When I switch tabs the one I was on will go back to normal and the problem will go to the open tab. I have added a picture to show the problem.

hello, other affected users have tied this issue to the mcafee site advisor extension - please try to disable or remove that in case you have it present until there is an update by mcafee that can fix the problem.
