So suddenly whenever I try to type in and of Firefox's text boxes (url box, search box, any website text boxes), nothing happens. I can put my cursor in the box, but when I hit keys, nothing happens. I've trying going into safe mode, a clean reinstall, a regular reinstall, deleting all my addons, turning off search suggestions, and resetting firefox. Nothing helps at all.

Some have reported that pressing F9 and the Windows key simultaneously one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working. If this doesn't help then close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer (you may have to reboot more than once).
