Hi,

suddenly the error keys and the TAB key on my keyboard are not working just in Firefox. They work in all other apps, just not in Firefox. Appart from that, the arrow keys on the number block and the special characters like umlauts, @, €, etc. are working propperly.

What can I do?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

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