In my Googling, all roads seemed to indicate Firefox was inserting an icon from its active theme, perhaps due to an accidental drag'n'drop. In any case, same resolution here - as long as I can feel sure my client wasn't hacked, the issue rests :) Ok, well, thanks for the reply.

I don't know where it came from. I don't know how it got there. I just don't know. I removed the code and it has not returned. I do not believe it had anything to do with being hacked though. There simply is no evidence of that and no further damage or alterations that i have been able to discern. It's just one of those things that I have no explanation for other than to say that it -could- have been a result of a module or something. Until it happens again and I'm able to research it again, I just have to let it go since it hasn't affected my site further. I'm not totally comfortable with that resolution, but not much else I can do at this point. Hey Nathan, it remains a mystery to me.

I'm fairly concerned. I use Firefox most of the time, I think he uses Safari on MacOS most of the time - however we both test things with multiple browsers, so there's really no saying where it could have come from. Did you ever learn more about this? One of my clients just had this show up twice in a single article in a Joomla site. I’m fairly concerned.
