The curser recently started defaulting to the page info window, how do undue this annoying feature?
In the past, when I opened a window, email or whatever, the curser was in the window, at least I think it was since I never had to consciously move it. Now, when I begin to type as I have in the past, I find the curser in the page info window. Please make it stop. Thank you

The cursors jumps up to the address bar shortly after the page finishes loading, selecting the URL of the page?
Another Windows user reported having this same problem, but we didn't hear back on whether (or how) it was solved. Could you take a look at this thread and see whether it is similar to your issue and whether anything there is helpful: I click on new tab, click on link, and begin tykping. Cursor keeps jumping to address bar. How to stop?
There are other things that need your attention.
Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
