I didn't have a lot of time on the site where this was happening - at
the co. for whom I have set up the site, it does this on three of about
six machines, always the same page (+ Wordpress root folder, i.e. 'view
site' admin panel link)
[ Okay, maybe this is a good time to admit that I've broken the
WordPress site's pagination in order to sort 'post' lists by all kinds
of weird and wonderful customised grouped orders - but this issue
doesn't seem to affect those views per sé, but that plus a lot of UTW
links has me a bit nervous that I may be inflicting unusually cruel and
nasty demands on the shared server (@ 123ehost) :-{ ?. Still, it was all
working fine up until last week sometime, will check with the ISP if
they've recently changed anything.]

Admittedly that statement may have been a bit premature, about an hour
after posting this in the forum a response was posted saying: "That
happens with my Firefox on just about every site I land on ..." (LynnR,
I'm BCCing her, perhaps she would be so kind as to supply more examples
to look into). However briefly searching the forum nothing similar comes
up, except for one thread
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/84555?replies=11 where the problem
was 'resolved' by reinstalling firefox with a new profile - which seems
like sweeping it under the carpet.
Unfortunately I'll only be able to go to the site where I know this is
happening again next weekend :-(
Thanx for all the input
André
