it doesn't show this on Internet Explorer or on Google Chrome, but only on Mozilla. i've tried uninstalling and re-installing Mozilla, but issue is still present. and all of my Google searches has failed to provide any solutions.

this started when i was using Google to search for a song. after i entered the information into the search engine, a small box popped up on the same page the Google search results were on. and the small box happened to pop up right in front of the link i was planning to click, causing me to accidentally click the box instead, which i was not able to view any details about.

Maybe this issue with Comcast Constant Guard (Keystroke protection)?

i think that was the problem. i simply downgraded to Firefox 5, not only because of the highlighted text fields, but because i was getting a lot of crash reports whenever i opened multiple tabs. downgrading to Firefox 5 resolved it.

Yep, Comcast Constant Guard Protection was the problem. I temporarily disabled mine and the Google search field properly displayed my keystrokes.
