<h2 class="replaceHeadline">How to Fix</h2>
<p>So it appears that there are two different fixes. One of them completely removes FireShot, and the second leaves FireShot installed. Both appear to work.</p>
<h3 class="replaceHeadline">Fix #1</h3>
<ol><li>Uninstall FireShot 0.31</li>
<li>Restart Firefox</li>
<li>Enter <strong>about:config</strong> in the address bar</li>
<li>Search for any variables that contain <strong>fireshot</strong> (I think this is the one that is causing the problem: <em>general.useragent.extra.fireshot</em>)</li>
<li>Right click on each one, and select reset</li>
<li>If you want, re-install FireShot version 0.25</li>
</ol><h3 class="replaceHeadline">Fix #2</h3>
<ol><li>Open the FireShot preferences</li>
<li>Uncheck <strong>Add information about FireShot into user-agent string</strong></li>
<li>Restart Firefox</li>
</ol></div>

<p>So a couple of my Firefox add-ons had updates this morning. I installed them all without even thinking about it, and my co-worker <a href="http://seeyouin1984.com/">Adrian</a> asked why I added the green background to my sIFR headings. I had no idea what he was talking about. He said he also had a Firefox add-on that was updated, <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5648">FireShot</a>.</p>

<img src="//trevor-davis.com/images/content/2008/01/home-green-background1.jpg" alt="Homepage with weird green backgrounds" class="frame imageCenter" height="224" width="462" /><p>I checked in Firefox on the Mac, IE, and another co-worker's Firefox on PC, and none of them had the green backgrounds. I disabled JavaScript, and the green backgrounds went away. So something is going on with my sIFR headings. Weird.</p>

<p>Anyone else seeing the green backgrounds? Anyone know why?</p>
