When I click on text in a page, an I-bar appears where I click which then can be moved with the arrow keys, just like a Word document.

I have reinstalled Firefox twice, each time downloading a new installer exe from the website. I have also updated all plug-ins. This is a continual problem, as this makes normal scrolling impossible because the arrow keys move the I bar.
