Hi Basically when I try and use the shift key I keep getting this bar come up on the bottom of my screen and begins typing my text in there. Even when I close the bar and press the shift key again it still appears; I'm not sure how I can stop it from happening or how to disable it. It's getting frustrating not being able to type properly- I have to use the caps lock key for capitals. Can someone please help me out? Thanks

hello Sab01, your screenshot shows the firefox developer toolbar which can be brought up with the keyboard shortcut shift+f2. so this is just a guess, but maybe your keyboard's f2 key is hanging...

in case you cannot solve it that way, please enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named devtools.toolbar.enabled - double-click the entry and toggle its value to false. this will generally disable the developer toolbar after you restart the browser.

Thanks madperson, I went on about:config and it seems to have fixed the problem :)
