Currently using 101.0 (64 bit) on Windows 10.

It's quite annoying to try to type a capital F using Shift F but end up with developer mode.

I tried in privacy mode and this still occcurs, so I think it's not something my add-ons do.

Is there any way to disable this feature?

I don't have such a shortcut and it seems wrong; it would be extremely stupid. If you have no other way of getting rid of it, you could use autoconfig. See the example and article linked below. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1376993#answer-1505522 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig

Pussle solved, one application I used caused this problem. Sorry to bother.

It is possible that some 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.

Thank u. I'm a bit lost in the instructions. I'll try them later if I can figure them out. I'm going to try to use Beta or other versions for now.

These methods seems not to work, I'll try to use other versions of Firefox for now. Thank u.
