    Ok, I've noticed this for a while and I want to ask peoples opinion on it.

    When I used firefox, I see like an apostrophe character attached to the cursor in the address bar (see attached pic).

    I don't see this in Internet Explorer, and was wondeing if it was just a strange Firefox setting? Or is someone watching me? (cue x-files theme tune)

    Its because of that thing, you know that thing that happened to you when you were young!
    Have you check it in Word to see what your cursor looks like?

    This appears to be the tip of a "strange symbols on my computer" iceberg.
    I checked Firefox and a rake of my programs for strange symbols and I was glad to find nothing. And then I saw this. (see attached image)
