Why does Firefox tag ads for my competitors to key words in my business web site that I have to pay for???

I have a website that I pay for to promote my laser engraving business. I recently was informed that there were key words highlighted throughout my site that were linked to competitor sites that do similar work to what I am selling. I checked on this and found it only happens when logged into the net through Firefox and not through any other providers .

Why would you put this type of thing out there? I understand fair competition but not when you send my customers away from my site that I pay for with leech tags that steal my business

Such underlining added to keywords, similar to IntelliTXT or Kontera, is usually added by a script that is send by the server, so it is possible that someone hacked your web site or that your hosting company is adding such a script automatically.

Other possibilities are that the computer of visitors is infected, but that is unlikely if it happens with every visitor that is using Firefox.

What kind of links are there in your case?
