Whenever I click on text on a web page the typing cursor pops up like I can type something into the page, but when I press a key nothing happens. So I am wondering how can I stop this from coming up because it really annoys me. Picture of what I mean can be found here: http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/4818/cursor1.png AND HERE: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/9081/cursor2.png

Yay! I found out how to fix this. To fix it the only way I found out was to run firefox in safe mode, and one its started check the fallowing.

"Disable all add-ons", "Reset toolbars and controls", "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults", "Restore default search engines",

After doing that click on "Make Changes and Restart" and the run the reguler firefox and the issue should be fixed!

You may have switched on caret browsing: press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle
