When I first saw the pictures below I thought maybe it is dextercioby's birthday. The icons were all changed for celebration, but then they did not show in IE. My conclusion dextercioby has an irrevocable hatred of Microsoft and did not want IE people join in on the fun. I guess he just loves firefox.

No, apparently, firefox does (I don't understand why people like it).
 
Then it has to be something wrong with my computer

ROFL about time someone else got this. I have got a few funny things like this too. My fav was the surprised icon next to mb's science advisor award.

All you have to do is refresh. Personally, *ducks in preperation of tomatoes*, I think it is PF.
 
Funny, usually these sorts of problems are reported by IE users. PF must have acquired a few gremlins along with the spider infestation. We really do need an exterminator around here. :smile:

I wish it was that simple. I have closed all of the firefox windows and made sure the process closed too then restarted firefox, still it is there! Next thing to do is reinstall Firefox.

Edit: Firefox can be great to stinky depending on the seed of your computer and internet connection.

Have you tried clearing your cache ?

Have you cleared your cache yet? Try that and refresh (maybe mattmns can help you there...someone mentioned a while back there's a way you can do a refresh that clears the cache at the same time in firefox...I think...and might help).
