Where ever I press my left click on any text the line that shows when pressing on an area for typing appears... It doesnt allow me to type but it is sooo annoying plus sometimes it prevents me from pressing on buttons of some websites.

Note that this is about the caret browsing accessibility feature.

You can possibly disable the F7 shortcut via the about:config page.
