No, he didn't forget. The attachment made it through quite fine - you
should check your mailservers, I'd suppose.

Reg. the question the OP had: Haven't seen it before. I'd suggest
to create a new profile by running "firefox -profilemanager" and
then, step by step, I'd copy the files from the old profile (to be
found under ~/.mozilla/firefox) to the new profile, until it breaks
again.

If what you are seeing is an advert, have you tried using the adblock
extension for firefox? It could be just what you are looking for.

That's a good advice - adblock really is a MUST, IMO.
