Every link on Wikipedia has an icon after it
I just got a new computer (Dell XPS15 running Windows 7). After installing Firefox 8, I've noticed that every single link on Wikipedia now has an icon after it. It's the icon that only USED to appear after links off-site, but now it appears after every link. It does not appear to happen on any other page. Is this a computer problem, a Firefox problem, or a Wikipedia problem?

Can you attach a screenshot?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

A number after a link refers to a footnote.
A box with an arrow refers to an external (not at Wikipedia).
There are styles that you can install that will provide more of a breakdown links and if they are PDF files etc. Some examples of such styles:
- Show URL Types - userstyles.org
- Link warning (cursor hover) - various filetypes - userstyles.org
- Visited Links PNG Image (based on marcanth's) - userstyles.org
- Link warning (cursor hover) - various filetypes - userstyles.org
- Link Warning - Themes and Skins for Mozilla - userstyles.org
You can test that quickly by if done with a style enabled with the "Stylish" extension by simply disabling Stylish at its toolbar icon or in the extensions options -- no need to actually disable the stye itself such that you have to take Firefox down.
It is possible that you have a theme doing that try
- View ("At+V") > Page Style > Basic Style (as opposed to a named theme)
Thanks for your answer. However, these are very definitely internal links at Wikipedia. I am using Basic Page Style, and I am not using the Stylish extension.

I found it - I installed a new extension with the clean install, called WikiTweak. It's in there - it's a hover-to-preview icon. When I restarted in Safe Mode, it was gone, so I knew it had to be an extension. I'd forgotten I'd added that one.
