Tabs constantly crash and debug window opens with shift key
This started happening in the past 2 days. I would navigate through a page or a forum to an article or listing that I want to read. when I go to the link, the page goes into reader mode, refreshes rapidly, and usually crashes to a previous screen. It’s been happening on almost every website I go to. In addition, if I press the shift key, the debug window opens and closes. Things I’ve tried:
It’s only Firefox, I don’t get this behavior in chrome, brave, or duckduck I’ve disabled extensions, and tried troubleshooter mode I’ve disabled hardware acceleration I’ve cleared cache I’ve wiped Firefox from my system and did a clean install I’ve wiped Firefox and installed an older version
None of these have worked. I’d like to keep Firefox on my pc because I’ve used it since the beginning. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you perhaps use a wireless keyboard that you might try checking for batter charge, or any sticking key per se — since this all sounds like repetitive actions triggered by key combinations?
Or the reader mode does not open unintentionally, on its own? (The description sounds like it does that just by itself.)
I don’t use wireless devices, everything is wired.
It does it entirely on its own. I’ll click on a page to go to, it starts to load the page, then it goes into reader mode. The refresh button goes crazy, and after a few seconds it crashes out. It does it on its own, and with almost every page I go to.
