I first noticed the problem when I went onto wikipedia, whenever I clicked anywhere on the page an insert bar appeared and made scrolling tedious and occaisionally caused it to jump around. This also happens on mozilla.org sites but not others like XKCD explained. I recently had someone go through and clean out viruses so something may have been deleted.

What kind of insert bar are you talking about?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Is this the auto-scroll icon or something different?
