Alright, all my web browsers are on the fritz they've began showing larger images like this

Image
(I can't tell if you can see it the way I see it, because it looks weird on my screen both ways)
Its supposed to be the divide by zero de-motivational with the whirlpool/void thing.

Animated gifs have begun showing only the first frame and have a sort of line through them, (I'll try to get a screen of it once it reoccurs)

And they've begun to randomly attempt to save web pages instead of opening them and viewing them in the browser. Normally I use Firefox, but when Firefox started doing it I'd try the same pages in IE and I would get the same problem.

On top of this I've had increasingly troublesome problems with Youtube specifically. It started as playing only the first 10 seconds of any video and then closing like it was the end of the video. Its increased lately to thinking I'm from Mexico or Sweden and displaying all the you tube specific messages to different languages (like common marked as spam and other such messages) Even after I change the settings back from English it changes to a random country again.


Anyone having or had similar problems? I need a solution, its driving me insane.

I have the random youtube languages and the occasion 10 second abort, but nothing else.

Virus scan?

Already tried it, nothing came up cept the usual adware you pick up when browsing...

I just had firefox completely fail on me, I started seeing parts of the code on pages, and one time the entire page was all code.

EDIT: I sort of thought the youtube thing was something on youtubes side, but I didn't want to rule it out as my browser since all this other shit has happened as well.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but it didn't work either...

EDIT2: when it completely failed, instead of seeing the usual Vista titles and - [] X I saw them like the pre-xp days. If that helps at all. I'll get a screen shot of it next time it happens if you don't get what I mean...

Maybe you shouldn't have divided by zero....

I know...

But it was so tempting >_>




Either way I need help, and I'm afraid to divide by zero again else something worse might happen >_>

"And they've begun to randomly attempt to save web pages instead of opening them and viewing them in the browser. Normally I use Firefox, but when Firefox started doing it I'd try the same pages in IE and I would get the same problem."

Is Firefox 100% up to date? Also check the Firefox preferences and stuff. Something may have changed there.

@dr. sassy: if you see lots of code on SPP, you've discorevered what is called a Database error. k

Well its not just that picture, any picture about that size or bigger looks messed up, even 2D's signature looks messed up.

I've started using Opera and so far no issues, but I still want to fix Firefox so I can continue to use it. (I don't care if Opera's better, I like the customization of Firefox better than Opera)
