Firefox won't let me use the shift key

Hi
Basically when I try and use the shift key I keep getting this bar come up on the bottom of my screen and begins typing my text in there. Even when I close the bar and press the shift key again it still appears; I'm not sure how I can stop it from happening or how to disable it. It's getting frustrating not being able to type properly- I have to use the caps lock key for capitals.
Can someone please help me out?
Thanks

hello Sab01, your screenshot shows the firefox developer toolbar which can be brought up with the keyboard shortcut shift+f2. so this is just a guess, but maybe your keyboard's f2 key is hanging...
in case you cannot solve it that way, please enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''devtools.toolbar.enabled''' - double-click the entry and toggle its value to '''false'''. this will generally disable the developer toolbar after you restart the browser.

  • Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page Thanks

    I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

  • HT1338 My MacBook Pro (running Leopard 10.5.8) won't allow keyboard to type an upper case 'C' using the shift key...works fine with caps lock, or, with my Typinator workaround using double-typed lower case c (not always best). Any ideas?

    My MacBook Pro keyboard won't type an upper case 'C' using the shift key... only with caps lock. Workaround has been to use Typinator by typing a double lower case c, not always the best solution. Mac is a refurbished model, which initially was fine. Apple tech helped me correct the quirk when it first appeared, but now it has returned and refuses fixes. Any ideas?

    I'm willing to bet that this has something to do with iCloud.  I've been facing a frozen computer nearly every time I go into it. 
    In Activity Monitor I have seen two programs associate with iCloud that take up about 2.5 GB of memory (I only have 4 in the computer) -- causing everything to freeze.  One of these is called "iCloud Helper" and the other one is something like "Address Book Sync helper" -- I see parts of these names in the stuff you have posted.
    I am at my wits' end with these and have written to Apple asking them to do away with these or fix them.  To get rid of the Address book sync thing I have gone into system preferences for iCloud and unchecked Contacts -- but then spontaneously it gets rechecked.  And oftentimes after I Force Quit the iCloud helper, it spontaneously turns on again.  My conclusion --- the iCloud is basically unusable.  It turns a Mac into the most useless, clogged, sluggish PC.  If this is happening to a lot of people's computers -- and I see no reason why yours or mine should be an exception -- these programs just might destroy Apple itself. 
    So -- I'm about to completely give up on iCloud, and I suspect that others will too unless this gets fixed.
    Cheers,

    The liquify tool in my CS6 only has cross hair and won't let me use the tool like it's supposed to.  How do I fix that?

    Er, Audition doesn't have a liquify tool. Dunno which CS6 app does, but that's the forum you should post on.

    It sounds like you may be having issues with a Wi-Fi connection. If you have determined that the issue is with your phone and not with the particular Wi-Fi hotspot you are using, then you will want to use the following article to help you troubleshoot this:

  • My Firefox won't let me browse the Internet, even though I'm connected to the Internet.

    Excuse me, but my Firefox 3.6 just randomly stopped working. It won't let me browse the Internet anymore-- the error message it always gives me is "Unable to connect", even though I'm fully connected to the Internet. Earlier I opened up Safari and Internet Explorer 9-- both, in which, let me browse the Internet, and I had a full connection. But, whenever I use Firefox now, it says "Unable to connect". And every time I type in a URL on it, Firefox gives me the ''SAME'' error message. I don't know what to do now. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it does the same thing. So now I am stuck with using Safari, when I really wanna use my Firefox. Why is it doing this?

    Make sure you are not set to Work Offline in File menu.
    There is a possibility that your connection dropped even briefly, more so if using wireless. Make sure Firefox is not set to "[v] Work Offline" in File menu just above Exit.
    By default, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 will automatically use offline mode if there is no network connection. Under certain conditions, after the connection is reestablished it may remain in offline mode without the user's knowledge. Firefox 4 and newer prevents this behavior by default. To prevent this behavior in versions 3.5 and 3.6, add an entry to the '''about:config''' options, as follows.
    * Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    * Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean preference. Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''. Value: '''false'''

    You can update manually by downloading the install file from mozilla.org
    Does that help, also further details are in the [[Update Firefox to the latest version|Updating Firefox How-to]] article.

  • Mozilla won't let me use the back button. How do I enable it?

    I recently downloaded Mozilla. I like it but the only thing that I cannot do is use the back button. It won't let me use it. The color that highlights the back button is dimmed. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    Do you get a drop-down list if you keep the left mouse button pressed on the Back button?
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • HT1491 Added a I tunes card but it won't let me use the money how do I use it

    Hi I've just topped my I tunes account up with a I tunes card and it won't let me use my money on there

    What I mean is what is happening when you try to buy the movie? Does the cost of the movie exceed to amount of the gift card? Many areas/states/countries add a sales tax or a VAT to the purchase that will exceed the card amount.
    what exactly is happening? Describe?

  • HT4059 Have several books that were purchased recently, when all the sudden they have multiplied having 20 or more copies in my library   How can I delete them because it won't let me use the edit tab?

    Have several books that were recently purchased. This week these books have multiplied into at least 20 or more copies within my library. How can I delete them because it will not let me use the edit tab?

    Do they have the cloud icon on them ? When I had Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'on' I was getting multiple copies of books that were only in the cloud showing on the bookshelf in the app - turning that setting 'off' stopped them showing (you can see what books are available for redownloading, and redownload them, via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app)

  • Won't let me use the symbols to put my passcode in?

    Will not let me use the symbols to put my passcode in?

    Have you turned off Simple passcode in Settings>General>Passcode Lock? With the default simple passcode on, you only have digits.
    From the Users Guide:
    Turn Simple Passcode on or off:  Choose General > Passcode Lock, then turn Simple
    Passcode on or off.
    A simple passcode is a four-digit number. To increase security, turn off Simple Passcode
    and use a longer passcode with a combination of numbers, letters, punctuation, and
    special characters.
