Getting this message on Firefox quite a lot when browsing (not those sites by the way!), anyone know what it is? It's not a major problem but just really annoying when the message pops up...

Getting similar messages, not sure what it is but it's making me think of making the full time switch to Google Chrome

I'd lay the blame at the ad network running on the sites in question, they're trying to deliver an odd file type to the page as an ad. Complain to the webmaster.

It doesn't do it on Safari so has to be the browser. As much as i love Firefox, it's getting really annoying. Would re-installing work?

Trying Google Chrome at the moment. It's really fast compared to Firefox. I'm liking it so far. Any issues that anyone has come across, I'd appreciate your input.

Google Chrome looks really good, is there a way though to transfer your bookmarks from Firefox?

Top right of the page, click on the wrench icon and you can import your bookmarks and settings from IE and Firefox. It has no sidebar for your bookmarks but, you can drag the ones you use most to the top bar for quick access. I've abbreviated mine to fit
more onto the top bar.

Really strange seeing my post on a screenshot! Google Chrome is currently in development for Mac users, but i'll definiltely check it out, Firefox is acting funny these days.

Might be a big conspiracy theory but could chrome be slowing down Firefox.
