I FIXED IT!!! :D

I think I figured it out! In an earlier post I was bitching about the evils of RMM.com and how they put this pop up in their website that tries to force you into signing up for their web feed A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY!!!!!!!!1

The AR Solution guy said they didn't have any code for that in their page. And I didn't believe them. I'm sorry to say, I think they were right. Sorry RMM and AR Solution, I was wrong.

I found that if I viewed the page in Chrome it was fine, so that led me to believe it was something unique to Firefox that was causing the problem. I tested the Java, pop-up permissions, add-ons and every possible thing that might do something on a web page. Nothing worked. Then I tried one last thing...

I went to Tools - Options - Applications and looked to see what the permissions were for web feeds.


The culprit: Add Live Bookmarks in Firefox
Sure enough it was set to Add Live Bookmarks in Firefox. I changed it to Preview in Firefox. Restarted Firefox and so far, so good. I was able to visit RMM without screaming.

I have no explanation why this only happens on RMM.com and not on any of the couple few hundred thousand other web sites that I have visited on this computer.

I'm sure there is a perfectly logical explanation.

You win this round RMM. But I'll be back. Mark my words. LOL (lots of love ;))
