OK this is not a real problem but it is weird and I just wondered if anyone had any clues as to what is causing this!! As per thread title, occassionally my Firefox title bar decides to change to Chinese text. I'm not really sure of any websites that cause it in particular, but I have not gone to any Chinese websites today and it's doing it now.

Heres a picture of it:

Any thoughts?

Cheers

    Any language packs installed, have you tried disabling any add-ons relating to language packs in firefox?

    Additionally checked your PC for the usual spyware / viruses etc?

    RealPlayer plugins are known to cause this so try disabling if installed. Tools, Add-ons, Plugins.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:

    Would make sense, if real player uses language packs and you visit webpages with asian content :)

    I'll have to remember that one

    Thanks. I've disabled the Real plugins and will see if that stops it.
