    Hi,
    This is my first time posting on this forum and I'm a bit concerned and I
    was wondering if anyone could help please:

    Early this week I noticed changes with my firefox browser for example
    in my hotmail account in firefox I can't open my emails but I checked it in google chrome and its fine.

    Also when using boards.ie earlier this week I noticed that there was something wrong with the layout on firefox,

    again fine on google chrome


    and when I went to the facebook login page and this guys face appeared instead of the facebook logo,

    Is my computer or firefox browser being hacked, and if so do you think I can fix it?

    Clear your browser cache by opening it and pressing ctrl shift delete then select all (choose everything) and clear now. Re start the browser and test the sites again. I doubt you've been hacked

    Looks to me like cache related issues, just clear it and your problems should go away.

    it can happen sometimes. It's nothing to do with hacking. Clear your cache periodically to keep things in tip top shape.
