Firefox on windows 11 crashes between 0 and 15 times in a row as soon as I hit the keyboard. Same happens with chrome so that is not a firefox bug. Disabling all extensions does not help nor does a refresh. After a certain number of crashes, it starts working. Once it starts working, I can use the keyboard until next time I start it. No issue if I cut/paste text in fields, or if I use keyboard via vnc viewer. Only browser apps have this issue. I have also tried diabling all non windows services, and thought it was solved until it didn't. I would love a hint on what to look for.

I have the latest release (auto update)

Try to go to menu ≡ -> Help -> More Troubleshooting Information. There should be link to about:third-party. Try to block icsak.dll.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.

Yes, I have zoneAlarm. Is there a work around then ?
