    strange problem, not sure if its win 7 related. anytime i press enter/return when using firefox 3.5.5, including when i am writing now, the "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings'' window opens up. i will try to re-install firefox but anyone else seen this? :confused: :confused: :confused:

    I would not be so certain if this is an FF problem. Did you install any programs for managing power options on your computer (programs from the computer manufacturer probably?)

    First of all check any as that could have some hot key shortcuts set up. One of them may have set up a shortcut that does it.
