    Okay so firefox has been working fine ever since i installed it, and then yesterday a weird thing started to happen? You know when you click in a text box how that blinking line appears? The one that tells you where your text is going to appear? Well that appears no matter where i click on a web page, and it's annoying because i can't scroll with the arrow keys anymore (which i do when i don't have a mouse on hand), is there any way to fix this?

    Maybe you hit a shorcut that turned it on?

    The shortcut is F7, but using it should give you a dialog box explaining what's happening.
