Reboot the computer.


Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Do you possibly have (security) software with anti-keylogging features ?

I did what you said. The problem isn't there when Firefox is IN troubleshooting .. But when I turn it off , the problem returns.

Start Firefox. Disable all of your add-ons. Restart. Is the problem still there? If not, one of the add-ons is the cause.
