Sounds like a context menu, which you normally would call up with a right-click or Ctrl+click. If you try those methods, does it match what you're seeing or is it something different?

It might help if you could capture and post a screen shot of the navigation window. This article has tips on that: How do I create a screenshot of my problem? Please cut out or blur out any sensitive information in the image before attaching it to a reply.

That is the right click options window. Press the <Esc> key.

Firefox might be having issues with your mouse or keyboard. Have you noticed any other strange behaviors?

On Windows, this kind of phantom keyboard/click behavior can be caused by low batteries in a wireless input device, radio interference, or sometimes a glitch in memory that isn't corrected until the system is shut down and started up again.
