Why do unexpected characters show up in the gmail e-mails I compose?

I am using Firefox 3.6.24. I had upgraded to a later version, but it put so much stuff at the bottom of my netbook screen that I rolled it back to 3.6.
When I compose an e-mail in gmail, unwanted characters insert themselves into the body of my e-mail. In html, it looks like a free-floating "1" (without quotes) and a free-floating "2". When I change to plain text, it looks like the beginning of a list with "1" on one line and "2" on the next line. It's as if there's a template or signature that inserts itself. I just now downloaded the extension for Blank Canvas Signatures for Gmail, in an effort to fix the problem, but I didn't have it when the problem came up, so Blank Canvas Signatures isn't the issue.
This doesn't happen when I use Explorer nor does it happen when I compose an e-mail on my iPhone.
How did these characters get there and how do I get rid of them?

upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check
* getfirefox.com

  • I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature, the photo is there.  Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

    I am looking for a specific photo in my event folder, it does not show up, yet when I use the search feature the picture is there.  Why doesn't it show up in the folder?

    What system and iPhoto version are you running?
    If your're using iPhoto 9 or later  Command (right) - click on the photo in the search window and select Show Event in the Contextual menu. 
    That will take you to the event where the photo is.

  • I have Chinese Characters showing up on the top of my Firefox page.

    The Chinese Characters have been showing up for a couple of months. I have tried using various Virus Detecting programs such as MalewareBites but they don't seem to fix the problem. These Chinese Characters show up on the initial Firefox Search Screen as well as my ANZ Bank and Ancestry.com.au webpages just to name a few. How can I get rid of them. These Chinese Characters don't appear on Google or Internet Explore. If this can't be fixed I may have to stop using Firefox and use Google or Internet Explorer. I have tried attaching an image of this problem but it appears I am unable to.

    Hi, this is a known problem with McAfee Site Adviser, so if you are using it, that could be the cause. [https://community.mcafee.com/thread/76071?tstart=0 Here's a link to their forum], and [http://service.mcafee.com/faqdocument.aspx?id=TS100162 here's instructions] for removing it - should you wish to.
    Hope that helps.

  • Can anyone help? No incoming emails are appearing in my Inbox, but appear in the Gmail All Mail box. This is occurring on both my iphone and ipad.even if I delete an email, it reappears here. Slowly driving me mad! All help appreciated

    Can anyone help? No incoming emails are appearing in my Inbox, but they turn up in the Gmail All Mail box.
    Even if I delete an email it pops up again here. This is happening on both my ipad and iphone4s and is gradually driving me mad.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • Why don't we show up in the "what's new" section of the iBook store?

    We published our first book but it doesn't show up under the "what's new" section of our category. Any ideas why not? The books that are showing up were added ages ago. :(

    Yes, I'm wondering that too. I finally got my book up and running. It's called, "Japanese Foundation Level 1". Its in the textbooks section. It would be great if I can find it in the "What's New" section. That would make my day. :-)

  • Why Logic won't show flats when the key is with flats?

    Hi!
    Why is logic always show sharps and not flats in the matrix editor when we click on notes? If I input a Key with flats in the Global track signature, there is no change, I always see the name of notes with sharps instead of flats?
    This is so simple to ask for a professional software! My 15 years old sequencer was doing that! Did I misunderstand something?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    It can see how it could be useful to have the option to display note names according to the key signature in the event and matrix editors. But I can imagine that this kind of thing could also lead to a fair amount of confusion in some cases.
    Example:  to simulate harp glissandi, I'll use a mapped instrument as the front end for the instrument and remap the notes of the white keys so that by swiping a finger across only the white keys I get all the correct pitches. If the scale is C7 I'll map all of the B's to Bb's. Now of course, in the mapped instrument display, Bb is always shown as A# because here we're dealing with the remapping of notes in a MIDI context. But in harp writing, the B strings played with the pedal up are called Cb! If the piece I'm writing is in F# and the C7 gliss represents a brief enharmonic excursion, it starts to get a wee bit mind-bending as to how the notes should be named in the mapped instrument as well as matrix and event editor!
    So in these cases, the idea of using the conventional MIDI names for the notes makes for the least common denominator. When it comes to MIDI (and not music), an A# is always an A#, etc. and you can count on this for consistency.
    Of course, if this option to show note names as proper musical pitch was in place, there would have to be the option to turn the feature on and off depending on what aspect of Logic you're working in because there are lots of places where pitches are referenced! Theoretically, displaying notes as per the key changes could/would have an effect on:
    • matrix editor
    • event editor
    • transform sets
    • transformers, monitors, and virtually all Environment objects
    • transport display of incoming and outgoing notes
    ...it's a pretty long list!
    So perhaps it's not all that simple a situation. Still, if this feature was confined to the matrix and event editors, I think it would be a handy thing to have.

  • HT5678 Why don't they show how large the update is

  • Why are Messages not showing up in the NC while locked

    iPhone 4s on iOS 7
    -I am not able to get my messages to show in the notification center while the phone is locked.
         ~I tried to reset my settings and that helped, but now that I turned my phone off, messages aren't showing in the NC while the phone is locked.  I have alerts turned off, currently.  The way I have my notifications set up for messages, worked prior to me turning my phone off.
    -I have all my settings correct and I have my DND scheduled to off.
    -I have my notifications set so that my messages won't show on the Lockscreen and only set to show in the notification center<< Yes that format actually  works. But the times I hard reset my phone or turn it off, it all sotps working
    -My OS is updated to the current one out there.
    Thanks in advance

    BSB-Fan, I think I might have found a solution to your problem. Simply follow the steps listed below.
    Step One - Go to the homescreen and launch the Settings application.
    Step Two - Go into the General section of the Settings app.
    Step Three - Scroll down to the bottom of the General section of the Settings app. You should see a subsection that is labeled "Reset". Tap this.
    Step Four - In the Reset subsection of the General section of the Settings app, you should see a button that says "Reset All Settings". Tap this, and then confirm that you would like to do this on the popup.
    Step Five - After the phone has restarted, unlock the phone and return to the homescreen. Launch the Settings app again.
    Step Six - In the Settings application, you should see a button that says "Notifications". Tap the Notifications button.
    Step Seven - Once you're in the Notifications section of the Settings app, scroll down until you see a button with the Messages app icon and a lable that says "Messages." Tap it.
    Step Eight - Make sure that the Show In Lockscreen is in the off position if you would not like your messages to show up on the lock screen, but only within Notification Center on the lockscreen. Make sure that the Notification settings for Messages are correct.
    Now your Messages should show up in Notification Center on the lockscreen.
    I hope I helped. If you have any other issues or concerns, feel free to reply.
    Sincerely,
    Austin

  • Why do some birthdays show up with the description " 's Birthday", instead of showing the name?  About 25% show up this way, and the rest show up just fine?

    When I enter birth dates for my contacts on iCloud, about 20% of them show up on the iCalendar  "as 's Birthday " (without the name of the person), but the rest show up just as they should (i.e., "Ron's Birthday")...I've checked and re-checked the way the data is entered in the Contacts folder, but still get this discrepancy.  It only happens when I open iCalendar on my PC...when I view the iCalendar on my iPhone, everything reads just fine.  Anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Right, I just thought of this so that podcasts DON'T SHOW UP in artists or albums on your iPod (althought it does show up on songs and genres, but if you've got it so it skips podcasts then it won't matter...).
    What you do is:
    Go onto Podcasts in iTunes. Then go on View on the top toolbar and scroll down to View Options...
    Then select it so artist and album show up. Then delete whatevers there, so that the only info on the podcast is just the podcast name and its length.
    JOB DONE!

  • In plain English can someone tell me how to use the unsubscribe button or get it to show up in the "unsubscribe from mailing list" ad-on?

    There's nothing to detail it doesn't work.

    In plain English.
    If the unsubscribe header the add-on uses is present it shows up in the mail header along with the from Subject to etc. With or Without the add-on. So if there is no entry in the header, then the mail sender does not support that style of unsubscribing. In the United States unsubscribing from a mailing list is troublesome as legislators are either are unable or unwilling to understand the problem. Given the amounts of money involved I will go with the latter.
    Any difficulties you have with the actual add-on need to be dealt with by the add-on author The download page list a support link. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/unsubscribe-from-mailing-list/?src=search

  • Why does my Macbook show it's the year 2554 BE? How can I fix it?

    My Macbook stopped showing the correct year. It shows that it is the year "2554 BE" I don't even know what BE stands for!
    The time, month, and day are all right but the year keeps bugging me!
    The text is in spanish but I guess we all get the same window.
    1) I tried changing the year but the lowest it can go is "2512 BE".
    2) I tried Reseting the time and date but it didn't work either.
    3) And I also tried setting the Time and Date to automatically change and took me back to "2554".
    What else can I do?
    P.S. My macbook is up to date. I have the Version 10.6.7
    I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!

    Hello,
    B.E = Time Format, used in most Asian Countries. Means Buddhist.
    Try and tick the "Set Date & Time Automatically Box". Set it to the appropriate setting.
    Where abouts did you buy your Mac from?

  • Why won't iMovie show pictures in the trailers? And other problems...

    When I try to insert pictures into my imovie trailer it lets me but it becomes black during the time it's supposed to show. Videos are fine though. Also, whenever I create a trailer, the wording disappears before you can even read it. any ideas? It is so annoying and I would like to get it fixed ASAP. Thanks guys.

    Hey I had the same problem for days now. I tried everything including resetting my phone even my wi fi DNS and nothing seems to work. I've been searching and searching for days and nothing seems to work, and FINALLY I decided to back up all my videos and pictures onto my computer then rebooting my iphone completely. Here are the steps if you want your iphone to work again. First connect your phone to your computer open itunes and back up everything from your iphone to your computer it will take a couple of minutes. After that is done just go back to your phone to settings/ general/ reset/ ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS and just click on continue your phone will shut off once it turns back on just follow the instructions it also has you either create an icloud name or use your old one, once you log onto your iclouds and set up everything go to settings then messages and sign in and wah lah it works! I was really excited I've been a little annoyed with the whole stituation and now I'm just happy it's fixed. Hope this works!!

  • Why wont my audiobook show up on the book shelf in the ibook app?

    I see my books and pdf's, but I am wondering why you cant put the audiobooks on the shelf and also it seems as though you can only see pdf's of books, not both?
    Help please,
    Tom

    My audiobooks go into the iPod app along with other audio content, iBooks is essentially an app for reading. As to why we can only view PDFs or books I'm not sure, it would probably be useful to have combined shelf - you could try leaving feedback : http://www.apple.com/feedback (not sure of the best place for feedback as iBooks doesn't appear to have it's category, so I guess iPad).

  • Why DBMS_SQLTUNE task status shows "INITIAL" all the time?
