    Is engadget playing up for you

    When i go to the engadget webpage i get a load of message boxes with the title
    'The page at http://platform0.twitter.com says:'
    and a random number.

    If i then close them all down it then comes up with a load of other message whcih seem to be related to the headlines.
    And the only way to close it seems to do ctrl + alt + dlt and close the firefox process down

    Can anyone else see if it happens to them.

    If you could also post what browser your using as it could just be mine (Firefox 4 Beta 2)

    Thanks guys.

    It seems to be working for me now so no idea what had happened.

    It just did it three times so i was starting to get worried.
    Lets hope it's cleared its self permanently though.

    This happened to me yesterday on both Engadget and Gizmodo. No idea what was going on but I'm guessing it was linked to the new Twitter button that's just been introduced.
