Hello. Whenever I search on google, yahoo etc. - my searched words are highlighted in red in the results. I do not have any plugins or add-ons that make this happen. On Internet Explorer this red highlight doesn't appear in the search results, so it has to be a problem in the browser. How can disable this red highlight? Thanks :)

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
