Firefox redirects to wyciwyg page
For the past couple of days Firefox always redirects to a blank page when I try to visit any page on www.kongregate.com. When I use IE tab on the blank page it comes up with the url "wyciwyg://#/www.kongregate.com" where # is a number that changes occasionally. I've tried deleting my Firefox cache and uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox with no success. Kongregate.com is the only site I know this to happen on and this is the first time I've seen it do this before. It was fine two days ago and I haven't installed a new add on in months.

I've restarted my computer, turned it off for a while, deleted the cache by manually going into the folders, and disabled several plugins and yet the issue remains.
Any more ideas on how to fix this problem?

I've added the following lines to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file and the problem went away:
127.0.0.1 www.googleanalytics.com
127.0.0.1 gostats.com
Try it and report back please.
I had this problem too, with a Lenovo T410, company platform on Win 7.
I had it until I kept the FF version 3.6.28; yesterday I found (and installed) a new FF version available on company's intranet (10.0.3 ESR) and today the problem disappeared.
When I had the issue, I noticed that, on status bar, always the same address appeared: load.s3.amazonaws.com When the link I was trying to see redirected me on a different provider (akamai), the page was showed correctly.
I have the same problem on one of my sites which use syntaxhighlighter. The issue is due to syntaxhighlighter when an email address is present in code to display.
For exemple, if I write :
// DSKSDJK language file (contains translated texts).
// @package com.dkjskdlk.dfkdjf
// @abstract DJJKFJLK language file.
// @author JOJO
// @copyright 2004-2009 JOJO

// since 2004-03-03
(real project is hidden)
wyciwyg redirection is present because of info@dkjfskfj.com syntaxhighlighter try to transform this as a real link
So if I write
// DSKSDJK language file (contains translated texts).
// @package com.dkjskdlk.dfkdjf
// @abstract DJJKFJLK language file.
// @author JOJO

issue is closed.
