Whenever I use the tab key on my keyboard to try to move between fields on the screen, instead of moving the curser I get an icon bar that pops up in front of the the window, showing all my open windows. I don't want this to happen anymore, please tell me how to stop it.

Sounds that Windows thinks that the Alt key is (still) pressed.

Does it help if you press all status keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) a few times?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
