Hi, I was just using Firefox's built-in inspect element tool and at the bottom of every page it shows this:

<iframe style="width: 330px; height: 0px; border: 0px none; position: fixed; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1em; z-index: 2147483647; margin-right: 10px;" name="prestosavings-ifrm-01" id="prestosavings-ifrm-01" src="https://savecdn.com/addon/coupontool2/iframe.php"></iframe>

That scared me at first because I thought maybe my site was hacked or something but I checked other sites and found the same thing. If I use another browser, or view source, it is not there. So I guess it has to do with the inspector? Just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them.


EDIT:
Turns out it was personas interactive that was doing it.

I suggest using firebug. It is invaluble for editing web pages, doing css, and removing pesky ads.

Well the built-in inspector's fault, it was personas interactive. But I'll try using firebug. I've heard of it but have never actually used it.

Actually Firefox's FireBug, Chrome's dev tools and Opera Dragonfly are essentially the same thing. They are based around the same idea and look very similar to each other. I never use fx's bulit-in element inspector in favor of Firebug.

Yeah, I ended up uninstalling that. Also, I wasn't concerned about anything malicious, I just don't like ads. ;)
