When ever i type in firefox no matter what key i strike firefox inputs the next letter from a rotating key set. Key strokes are as follow: 1234567890-=qwertyuiop[]asdfghjkl;'`\zxcvbnm,./-+\ that is all from hitting one key over and over I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, reset firefox attempted every keyboard shortcut i could find on the internet nothing helps. I have removed all extensions used and turn off anti-keylogger and still this problem persist. What am i missing?

This is an issue that we are aware of and are looking into. I understand that there may be an update available for ZoneAlarm that may help resolve this.

If you use ZoneAlarm security software then this is likely a problem with its Anti-Keylogger feature as in 116 the ZoneAlarm icsak.dll that makes this Anti-Keylogger feature work properly in Firefox is blocked in Firefox 116 on Windows because it is causing crashes. For now you can try to update ZoneAlarm or disable the ZoneAlarm Anti-Keylogger feature.

This is being investigated (bug 1847033) and will be fixed in a Firefox 116 dot release by removing the block for icsak.dll (scheduled for 116.0.2).

I posted the following to support.zonealarm.com/hc/en-us/requests/210190?page=1 Anti-key stroke logger will not allow me to type in FireFox browser. You know this problem. I am going to do an uninstall / reinstall Extreme security to fix. Turning off anti-keystroke logger solves the problem. And why no live chat???

Update on Request #210190 Uninstalled and reinstalled ZA Extreme Security and no improvement. Same with Firefox. Turning off anti-keystroke logger from ZA -Web and Privacy-Anti-Keylogger solves the problem. Running ZA ES on Windows 8 and Windows 10 computers without problem. Had this problem on Win 10 laptop and this Win 10 Desktop in the past with a reboot of computer solving the problem. Not this time. Win 8 computer running ZAES 15.4.062.17802 Never a problem Win 10 computer running ZAES 15.8.113.18768 Clears with reboot of computer
