    Yahoo inbox causes a ubuntu popup to ask for gedit ?

    Hi

    For some reason when clicking on the Yahoo inbox from Firefox browser a message appears:

    The ubuntu popup says:
    Opening placement_cookie.php

    You have choosen to open
    placement_cookie.php
    which is a PHP script (1 byte)
    from: http://amch.questionmarket.com

    What the heck is this ?

    I just deleted all broswer cache perhaps this will fix it but very strange I never saw this before

    The contents of placement_cookie.php would give a better idea, but it sounds like one of their advertisers messed something up with their script/cookies.

    deleting cache seemed to solve this but it was very strange I never saw this before
