When I start typing something on Facebook, or in my email, or a comment on a blog, in Firefox, it will let me type a word or two, and then nothing more. All other functions work fine, it isn't frozen, but there is no response to anything I do with the keyboard. Other internet browsers and other programs work fine. It started with the space bar being just a bit behind the other letters (so I typed a word, pressed space, had to wait for the space to appear before I could type the next word) but now it is everything.

It seems to have been a temporary glitch, as it is all fine now, but I am keeping your hints and tips for future reference - thanks!
