Firebug seems to be adding iFrame links to an html editor I use for work.

It only happens when I swap the source view in the text editor and firebug is open in Firefox (W7). I have run two anti virus scans and re-installed Firebug.

The iFrame is <p><iframe id="buffer_tpc_check" src="https://d3ijcis4e2ziok.cloudfront.net/tpc-check.html" style="display: none;"></iframe></p>

I have also checked that link and nowhere seems to report it as malicious.

Is this URL something that Firebug uses?

Thanks in advance, Chris

This link doesn't come from Firebug. Could it be that it's an extension for it that is adding the iframe?

Its a fresh install of Firebug so no extensions for Firebug installed.

Thanks for your help, I will keep digging!

I found the culprit, its the Buffer app but only happens when Firebug is active, very odd.

Thanks

I don't know what the Buffer app is, but thanks for the hint.
