Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar.. Then Tools > Options > Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

You can check for issues caused by one of the installed and enabled extensions.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Additional information CTRL-home, CTRL-end CTRL-left and CTRL-right all work exactly as expected Using the onscreen keyboard (run-osk) works as expected Using the non-numpad keys works as expected To reiterate, all these keys work fine in a non-browser application
