Suddenly, I cannot type anywhere in Mozilla browser. It was fine yesterday. Other browsers (chrome and explorer) are fine. I uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla. this made no difference.

I also noticed that refreshing my earthlink email opens a new window, which never happened before and also does not happen in the other browsers.

One solution on a message board noted a program (add-on?) called PC Keeper as the culprit. I checked for that in the programs and did not find it. There were not any other programs that had been added to the program roster recently.
