Hello all...

Unfortunately I cannot remember exactly when my problem started, but it must have been around the time FF8ß was installed on my system. Everytime I use FF now, I have a blinking cursor whereever I click inside a webpage. It is extremely annoying, being "able" to click on any piece of text on a page and have that blinking cursor sitting there, which I can move around, using the arrow-keys on the keyboard, as this limits the ability to maneuvre a webpage with the help of these buttons as well as the pageup/down-buttons. It is like the whole text of a website is editable as if working on it in MS Word or a texteditor, but obviously without the ability to actually change anythign. Problem also occurs in safemode.

Any help is appreciated!

Hit F7 to turn off the Caret browsing mode. It's an accessibility feature.

Mother of God - that's it! Thanks to you, sir! I was googling for "firefox feature blinking cursor" but that really did not get me anywhere. ;)

Thanks again...
