Everything I type writes backwards. If I click on a dropdown at the top, it rotates through them all without stopping. Same with Thunderbird.

Typing in the address bar it reads backwards. If I click on a drop down thing at the top, it starts rotating through them over and over. Thunderbird is having the same issues. I ran a virus thing, shut down the computer, restarted/loaded it. I removed Firefox, downloaded and reinstalled and still the same problems. Argh

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Thanks, that didn't do it. It still happens in safemode. I am trying deleting it and reinstalling it again. This scrolling thing happens in Thunderbird also, as well as the mail folders are compressed, can only see "most popular", though I can click on a bit in mail and open up all the folders for a fraction of a second. I would like to keep some of the mail, otherwise would delete/reinstall thunderbird also.

It is very frustrating.

Nope, still rotates through the top links and words type in backwards. I will wait a couple more days before deleting Thunderbird also.

Any other thoughts? thanks
