Crazy Like a Fox.com: Make it Stop!
March 20, 2008 9:57 AM Subscribe
Help! For a few days now, Fox.com keeps loading a tab in Firefox automatically every so often. How do I get it to stop? I tried clearing cookies and stuff, and scanned for malware and found nothing. I also tried reinstalling Firefox since I wanted to upgrade to the latest beta of Firefox 3 anyway. I'm behind a corporate firewall here, so this kinda thing never happens typically. Any ideas?
any chance you have it bookmarked? probably not but I had a weird thing happen with that once.

Maybe you can try the noscript extension to block scripts unless you specifically allow them.

Response by poster: Ok. Great...turns out I got pranked.
My coworker added a scheduled task to open the site every 10 minutes as a lesson for forgetting to lock my workstation. :)
Thanks, anyway.
