certain symbols are displaying as html code on twitter?
mostly the symbols > < &.
and it's only on twitter.
i noticed it first when i installed the new firefox. it turns < into < and > into > and & into & (without spaces) which i find ridiculous for the last one, because it includes an ampersand to make the symbol, but that's something other.
i'm just wondering, is there /anything/ i can do to fix this? it's super annoying and it makes it hard to click on links or see people's emoticons.
thanks. yobo

Did you check the source code or the generated source via the right-click context menu after selecting that text because that & may be present in the code of those pages as &lt; as the result of pasting code from another source.
i'm not pasting code from anywhere, and the urls are from artfire.com, and they look like this ::
http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=3115926
the other stuff, i'm making little faces. like this one :: =(>_)>
it happens when i write them, and when others do, but it shows fine for them. mine's the only one screwed up.
Work fine here:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

This has been driving me crazy.
Changing over to "New Twitter" fixed the problem for me.
@cor-el - i've actually tried that. nothing seemed to have an issue. :/
@drewmcw - i'm sorta chagrinned now. i never thought to do that. ^^;;;;;
that totally worked. thanks so much for all the help, guys.
