For the past few weeks, I have been experiencing a weird problem on a single website. It doesn't happen in IE, only Firefox. When I go to the Washington Examiner news site, and scroll a bit down the page, the page will reload and jump to a google search page! The words that I supposedly "searched" for are always the same... "washingtonexaminer com js ga js", but of course I never actually searched for anything... something on the webpage is triggering a weird reaction in my browser.
Could someone running the latest Firefox check that link for me and see if it happens to you too?
I think it is related to the flash video in a blocked ad in the right column... but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks!

Solution: It was (not surprisingly) an add-on. "Save Tube Video 3.0" , a video capture extension, was causing the trouble. It didn't react well to an embedded video that site had on all of its pages.
