Can anyone explain what is happening here.


On some of my websites, the URLs are starting to look wierd. To each URL, some weird character sequences beginning with # are appended (examples are shown below). This has never happened before and I only noticed it recently. This seems to happen only in Firefox (my version is 8.01), not Internet Explorer.

For example, on cribfolk.com: What URL is supposed to be: http://www.cribfolk.com/more-stuff/aprons/ What it looks like in the browser: http://www.cribfolk.com/more-stuff/aprons/#.Tu64SHp1KTY What URL is supposed to be: http://www.cribfolk.com/about/ What it looks like in the browser: http://www.cribfolk.com/about/#.Tu64g3p1KTY

I'd appreciate the help!

Thanks
