    Hey
    I use Mozilla and recently a very annoying thing has been going on whenever I browse the net. When my arrow hovers over anything a box pops up and translates whatever that word is into various languages. God knows where this unnecessary advice is coming from but if any can point me in the right direction to erasing it I would be grateful.

    Also, at the very top of my browser, beside the Mozilla symbol, is a load of Chinese writing. Not annoying but related?

    (I don't speak 'computer' so please pretend I'm a halfwit when replying!)

    Check what add-ons you've got installed on Firefox (Tools > Add-ons). There might be something there that would explain it. Alternatively, export your bookmarks to the desktop and then uninstall Firefox and re-download and reinstall it. Then just re-import your bookmarks from the desktop file.

    Done & dusted in about 5 mins.
