when I do a quick read of an article, the article is always highlighted in blue as though I had selected it for copying. Windows xp, firefox 12.

I have FF12 on a windows xp machine. When on Huffington post and try using the quick read function, the article is hightlighted in blue. This was true with the FF11 version. Doesn't happened with internet explorer or safari. Before I can read the article I have to click within the article just beside the letters.

Yes, I see that too (now that I figured out that I need to hover a photo to access Quick Read). It takes extra work for a script to select text that way, so I'm not sure why it happens. Perhaps someone should submit the puzzle to the HuffPost so they can try to solve it...
