Now i have had spills and other stuff on my laptop. but it works absolutely great other then its monitor... anyways, when ever I open firefox developer tools keeps spazing out. What i mean by that is, the developer tools keep popping up, even when im not even touching it. After it pops up it instantly minimizes the tool bar and then pops up again. It just repeats and repeats with no end at sight. There are times where it does it really slow and instead of showing a empty white void in the tool bar it shows the actual developer tool bar with a exit, minimize, the commands and security tabs. I have tried to click the exit button but it just ignores the mouse. please help! although i can control the website behind it it takes over half of my screen. In which case i can't really do much. I have also set the devtools.toolbar.enabled to false in the about:config but nothing is different. Its a possibility that it may have made it slower. I do have a feeling its my mother board being in really bad shape but other then that im stuck and don't know what to do. Laptop is actually a old acer netbook.

Hi Lord_Zeushlar, The feature should be like any other toolbar in Firefox where you can hide it and select is as hidden. However Resetting Firefox to its default, factory state would most likely reset this feature.

Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

  1. Open the Firefox Menu
  2. Click on the Question Mark
  3. "Restart Firefox without Addons"
  4. When it restarts, select Reset Firefox

NOTE: This will remove all customized data in Firefox, however it can be restored: Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles
