A developer tools box keeps popping up
A box with developer tools pops up multiple times during Firefox sessions. It is unclear what keystrokes bring this up...but it seems to happen randomly. Each time i have to manually close the box. Have not found a way of disabling this. Firefox Help does not have any information on this.

Here is a screen shot of the box that continually pops up
You can see those keyboard shortcut in the "Firefox/Tools > Web Developer" menu. The Web Console opens with Ctrl+Shift+K.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
Shift+Ctrl+K opens the Web Console for me.
Keyboard shortcuts could vary with OS (or even locale). There are also other tools with shortcuts.

I am not actually sure how to disable this but it should not popup unless you use the menus or keyboard shortcuts.
Not sure which keystrokes bring it up (will try to be more aware), but am not hitting Shft+Ctrl+K when it pops up
When it pops up...i am not using the menus of keyboard shortcuts.
