I think everything is said in the title... Any ideas? I can't find anything in the options which would toggle that off, in fact, I didn't do anything in the Options today but clearing my Cache and Cookies.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} See if there is still a problem.

It worked, apparently it was Add-on^^

It is due to you Testing the Nightly development channel builds. I got the same in last couple Nightly builds on Linux. It is fixed now.

What add-on?

I have no Idea... But by switching all Add-Ons off and on again (Which apparently is what Safe-Mode does) it worked again.

Again it was not due to an Extension rather but due to a regression (as you can see in comment #1) that was fixed and works in today's build.

For reading as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum like here.

This can happen if Firefox sees the Ctrl key as pressed.

Note that it is possible that some of the status keys have the wrong state and Firefox sees them as still pressed.

Try to press all the status keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) a few times to see if that helps to recover from this. If it doesn't help then close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer.
