I have rogue websites associated with specific words on legal websites

When I view a website in Firefox (version 17 although I didn't ask to have it over 16) certain words are underlined and have a clickthrough associated with them. I don't want this clickthrough, but can't get rid of it.

These clickthroughs do not appear in Internet Explorer or Chrome, so I believe that it is a problem with Firefox. It has happened in the past couple of days.

That sounds like Textsrv. I would check for malware. It could be a toolbar that you installed, or some other extension linked to some other site.

If these don't find it or can't clear it, post in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

I tried those with no success, other than to remove the cookies from third parties, which apparently I need for this forum.

I removed three add-ins and that cured the problem. I can't remember setting up the add-ins anyway, and they don't seem to affect the operation of Firefox. They were: Google Lite 4.9.3 Google Docs Viewer 1.8.5 Yontoo 1.20.00
