Hi my keyboard is blocked only in Mozilla Firefox, only the F1, F2, F3, etc works, any letter or number does not work at all. This is one of those annoying things that can only happen with this browser. By the way I reseted Mozilla, reinstalled it several times but nothing changes. Can you please fix this serious bug on the next update? I can use other browsers until it's fixed. Thanks! Martin

You may have turned on caret browsing <F7> by accident.

Caret Out {web link} Disables change of the caret browse mode by shortcut key(F7).

Tried that too! but no, also tried pressing the Win key once, twice, combination of keys, and all sort of things I read in other forums, no luck so I am trying here...

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.
