I hate the accessibility inspector pop-up ! Whenever I type something it pops up and will occasionally delete what I've already typed. I want to delete it. Love firefox otherwise.

I haven't seen that yet. I notice there is a reference to the feature in the following article on the Mozilla Developer Network. It mentions a way to disable the Accessibility Inspector tool -- maybe this will help:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste devt and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the devtools.accessibility.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox.

Does that work on your Firefox?
