Red link backgrounds - firefox add on to blame!

Recently, red backgrounds have been appearing on my links in my browser and it was doing my head in! i looked on a couple of forums but despite the amount of problems people were having nobody knew how to get rid of them.

Turns out it was a Firefox add-on that was doing it - and not the web developer toolbar like a lot of people thought. It was 'SEO For Firefox', an add on that gives you information about a sites SEO status.

If you have this add-on and are suffering from the same problem, its easy to fix:

Right Click >> SEO For Firefox >> Options

And its the enable/disable highlighting option

Hope this sorts your problem out!

I had this issue also and that fixed it.

Firefox Tools Menu - SEO for Firefox - Options - Uncheck Enable Highlighting.
