May not be the place to ask, but this is wierd...

YouTube videos posted on DU have a wide, transparent, horizontal yellow line going down the left side. Only on DU, and only with Firefox. Other sites and browsers don't have the problem.

If need be, I'll post a screenshot, but I has anyone else noticed something this weird? Or have an idea why?

that I've switched to Chrome. Firefox was using up too much RAM and becoming unstable. Chrome has a task manager so that I can shut down individual tabs when I see that they are going to be resource hogs.

is my preferred browser for most things of importance. FF was really screwed up for a while, but a couple of upgrades ago they seem to have gotten it together.

The odd thing about this, though, is that it's specific to youtube videos on DU viewed in FF. There's some oddball code in there somewhere doing strange things.
