    Hi,

    Whenever I try to open any website (gmail, hotmail, and anyother) with my FF, I see the following two URLS in my FF status bar:

    
    dt.tongji.cn.yahoo.com
    
    and
    
    ad.5iyy.info
    Code (markup):

    I even upgraded to FF 3 but still getting those links in my FF status bar.

    What do you think it can be?

    Thanx

    Not sure..
    But, you better scan your computer for malicious softwares like AdWare, SpyWare etc.

    I'd scan the firefox folder but perhaps its just firefox. I would try browsing the internet with standard IE.

    It may be some POP UP ADWARE which got inside your FIREFOX Folder.
    Did you try IE or other browser? Does it also happen with other browsers?

    Me either. Just a quick advice. Go scan your PC for adware and spywares...

    And also try to dis-able all your FF plugins and then try it again.

    Run every spyware/adware remover available on the web. Also, you could try google'ing for people that have had the same problem. Often someone has a problem, solves it, and then posts the solution on the web.

    Good luck.
