Best Answer: ahh. you got served with spywares!
here, do these steps..
1. download spybot search and destroy here:
http://filehippo.com/download/f49c5416fb…
2. after installation, update it then immunize.
3. scan your pc.
4. erase the detected spywares.
5. you're done.
*note: always run spybot: search and destroy 2x a week for maintenance.
if that didn't solve the problem, try using this:
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUB…
*this removes all the viruses/spywares in your system.
here's how to use it:
1. Download the file.
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Attach this log in the thread you are working in.
Note:
* Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
good luck!
Re:Remove all extensions, and clean out your profile. See if it "fixes" itself. I had none of the issues you mentioned.

enable pop, and use thunderbird
that'll teach em.
Edit:
And both sites work in opera, I too have the quadruple menu, but it dissapears once I scroll down. So I dont know what to think of it, looks like a bug more than a faulty coding.
Done and done If it wasn't for that I might have stopped using gmail… until reading the rest of this thread, duh :confused:

I have Gmail and access it using Safari on Mac OS X. There's absolutely no ActiveX support on Safari and I have no problems…
That makes sense (as per guy's observation), I thought it was a bit odd. Must have been something else that I did wrong with firefox. Regardless, firefox bombed when I visited gmail

Not a FF problem though. If you look @ their source code, all of those errors are from non-DOM/CSS compliant coding.

You seem to have all ads removed, maybe that does some funky stuff with the layout.
Works fine here
Re:As for gmail, AFAIK it's always been activex.
Maybe if it detects you're using IE, but I know a lot of people on Linux that have no problems with the gmail web front-end.
Re:I was having trouble with the university of Delaware's athletic site:

Then click on athletics. Then click on the Blue Hen. That is where FF ketp crashing.
Nevermind, now it is working~!
Re:No problems in opera.
As for gmail, AFAIK it's always been activex.
Re:Again works fine in Mozilla,
Agreed!….no problems with either site with my Mozilla 1.7.5 browser.

Again works fine in Mozilla, but from the SS that certainly is majorly mucked up in FF.

Re:Amazon has always worked/looked fine in Galeon here, but I don't have IE to compare it to.

Re:I tried both links in Safari (it is also standard compliant like FF), and the first one was fine, but I also get the four tabs. I really hate it when people don't test things in browsers other than IE, esp when some people can't use IE (like mac users – well, there is IE5.23, but it sucks).
Re:ya i'm seeing quadruple too. damn these non ie sites. i try to mail the site when i find something not working.
if enough people do it, probably they will do something.
the second link took forever to load in IE, in firefox it was instantaneous.
Re:http://usa.asus.com/index.htm <– Working better today. Yesterday, the menu up top wouldn't work at all due the the flash overlay.

Looking for more, i cleaned out my history about an hour ago 
Re:can u name some sites with symptoms, that don't work? could be an extension screwing things up.
