Recently (possibly since the installation of a "Flashplayer" update, certain words (usually nouns) appear as highlighted in any text on screen. When clicked on, the word-links open a new tab, dealing with a topic related to the word. These are annoying, and the highlighted word often cannot be read, as it shows up in red, on a background which may also be red. I want to disable this "quick-link" ability. Please tell me how 'tis done. Thanks

You can look at Adblock Plus.

You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).
