    It is not a Rickroll.. if you use any browser on Windows, and have .NET version 3.5 or higher, you have a security exploit installed into all of your browsers. Yes, even Chrome, though the article focuses around Firefox, Chrome is also effected.

    Here is how to disable it.

    If you do not fix this, you might as well be running IE.. :|
    Darn Microsoft.

    Meh, I'm fine. It apparently doesn't work on the beta versions of Firefox.

    Oh, and I can confirm it is not a RickRoll link.

    Yeah, Mozilla overrided them in the Betas. Hopefully they will public release the fix soon.

    Well, if it is not in the add-ons window you do not have it.

    Follow the instructions on the annoyances site anyway to see if you still have some of it.

    You probably do not have .NET 3.5+.

    I copy them from a different place that tinyurls them, and I just was too lazy to convert it back
    You're welcome.

    I have the newest 3.5 and I code in .net so I should have more chance that I got it installed compared to you guys.
