My Blogger blog, recently redesigned using Firefox, has had words highlighted that are links to Groupon. I did not authorize this. The links do not appear when I open blog in Internet Explorer. How do I stop this?

I usually use Internet Explorer but it would not support a redesign of my Blogger blog recently so I switched to Mozilla Firefox. I completed redesign a few days ago. When I opened my blog in Firefox this afternoon I discovered several random words were highlighted in a recent post. They were bright green and double underlined. I discovered they were links to Groupon. I went to the blog edit feature but could not find evidence of a link so I don't know how the links were created. I tried omitting the linked words and using different words in my text. When I viewed the blog different words were highlighted.

It must have something to do with Firefox because I opened the blog in Internet Explorer and no such links are there. I want those links off my blog. How do I remove them and prevent this from happening again.

I have sought help from Blogger help too. I checked on a friend's Blogger blog and discovered a similar green word link to Groupon there too. My blog url is http://patvivod.blogspot.com

I don't see anything wrong in either Firefox 5.o or 3.6.18. Specifically which words, in which recent post?

The post where I found the links is from Thursday, June 30, 2011. The links were attached to the word Flint in first paragraph, the name Elizabeth in the last paragraph and also the word surprise in the last paragraph.

Earlier, I only noticed the word surprise in a different line was highlighted. I went into blog edit and removed and replaced the word with something else when I couldn't get rid of the link. When I went back to view the blog these other words were highlighted.

Is it possible this is only visible on my computer??

Discovered the problem was an extension which I have disabled.

Which extension was it? The complete name, please. It may help someone who has the same problem in the future.
