[nvda] Re: Alerts in firefox and google chrome.

Here is a correction and additional information.

What I meant to say is that in firefox, I don't know about Chrome, this is
probably a message appearing in the browser message part of the window.

After correcting that error, here is more information.

I just did a little checking with a Google search and I may well be wrong.
 The message you are describing in Firefox is likely being displayed by he
Google tool bar.  Do you have the google tool bar installed in Firefox? 
You may be getting this message from the Google tool bar.  If you want to
stop this behavior, you should be able to change settings in the tool bar
to sstop this message.  Better yet, why not just remove it.  Maybe the
google tool bar has benefits for sighted people.  I haven't yet found one
blind person who finds it useful and I've seen a number of blind people
who find that it creates problems and is not just a neutral extra
unnecessary item.
