Wierd firefox symptom

Hey, I don't ordinarily send messages like this, but I find it kinda disturbing. I opened up firefox today (v1.0.2 I know its old but I haven't used this PC in a while), and typed: www.espn.com into the address bar only to find myself at: http://www.megago.com/l/? I checked the address bar history and it indeed showed that I had typed http://www.espn.com So I tried again. I made sure I typed www.espn.com and once again ended up at http://www.megago.com/l/? The third time was a charm. ESPN actually loaded. Checked firefox directories for any rogue extensions or modified files and nothing had been modified since I updated the User Agent Switcher extension on 5/16/05. I ran NAV and MS Anti-Spyware and nothing was found. Which makes sense since I only use Mozilla and have A LOT of sites blocked using adblock extension. So I'm kind of at a loss. I can't reproduce it atm but I'm just wondering has anyone else seen this before and could it just be a firefox bug? -sb _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
