Why has one of my news section questions contain blue up and down arrows, similar to scrolling arrows by the side of the text?

But unlike scrolling arrows when one clinks on them the text doesn't scroll, they are completely inactive.

Where is AB Editor when you need him?
On Saturday & Sunday I was enjoying my weekend :)

I have no idea what you're actually seeing. Any chance you could take and send me a screenshot?

It sounds like a bit of a dodgy plug-in or extension to me.
Question Author
Sorry about that Ed I thought I saw you around on Saturday, must have been mistaken.

I don't know how to take a screen shot, so I can only describe them as the same black arrows on a blue background, one pointing up and the other down as one gets on the R/H side of the screen which are used for scrolling, but my arrows are of course very much closer together, and they disappear when I open the question up.
are you using firefox AOG?
Question Author
Yes
i got this on FF, its to do with that not AB, however i recently installed the new version and i don't get them now
Hi o-a-g.....Your Firefox Browser should now be 25.0.1

If you are Not sure what edition you have.....Click open Firefox > Help > About Firefox. You'll then know if or not you are up-to-date and can take it from there.
^^^ Sorry I meant to type a-o-g. It would have been more polite if I had addressed you, fully, as, anotheoldgit
Question Author
Yes I am also on 25.0.1
I am now thinking that there could be a small nastie in your computer.

Give a scan with your Anti Virus programme and Malwarebytes to see if you have anything which is deemed undesirable.
