Strange elements appearing in javascript rich text editors

Question

There is a rash of weird HTML form elements that have appeared in rich javascript text editors around the world. The first evidence I can find is on the joomla forums a little less than a month ago. Since then, there have also been reports from drupal and wordpress users , and now there is evidence of this all over the Internet - and finally, we just had a report on this to the site for which I am responsible. It seems to be limited to Firefox.

Any ideas this comes from and how to stop them? There are some vague references to removing firefox and launching malicious scanners, but nothing concrete.

Answer 1

Perhaps you have a Firefox add-on called the Browser Token [1]? It may have been installed with a Skype add-in or independently (presumably it has some connection with eBay).

I saw two people [2], [3] that removing the Browser-Marker add-on does the trick. This is probably not a malicious widget, but simply faulty. Delete it or disconnect and tell us?

If so, you can instruct your users to remove or disable the add-in on your side (in the browser).
