I can't type in Firefox no more?

It's been about a week, since last Wednesday. I can type everywhere else except in Firefox, so I don't think it's the keyboard. I done everything, restarted firefox to it's original settings, restarted it in safe mode, even uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it again. I like Firefox very much, and I want to be still using Firefox.

Try resetting firefox ..

1.Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information. 2.Click the "Reset Firefox" button. 3.Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish. 4.Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Some have reported that pressing F9+Windows one or more times has worked to fix issues with the keyboard not working.
