how ironic

freaky

Yeah. The site is haunted. I thought everyone knew that.

i saw one of the mods post a forum a while back that was quite anti-firefox-ish. im guessing they're using it to bug systems that use anything other than explorer.

today its changing caps tomorrow...THE WORLD!!!!

I don't remember anyone ever saying that? Firefox was the most common browser used on this site last time I heard.

Saying that, if you find your problem I'd be interested to hear Chalks

possible solutions (did a quick search on the web):
1) press the shift key several (5?) times in quick succession (if this doesn't work, try both shift keys at the same time) - (this may make things worse - in which case do it again to turn it back off - it's a toggle switch thing)
2) held down the right shift button (under enter) and press caps lock
3) select: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Accessibility Options. The default panel that comes up will in fact be for the keyboard options. There you can turn off whatever happened to have been turned on. (Accessibility options can be turned on accidently (or on purpose) variously by holding certain keys down continuously for 5 or 8 seconds or by pressing the shift key five times in a row)
4) shutdown your computer and restart

Good luck.

(I'm not suggesting that you do all of those in a row... Do one and see if it works... if not, do another)

I think you should do all of them at the same time - although it's quite possible the eight fans in your case may not be able to handle it...

I really don't know why you haven't gone to water-cooling yet.

Sticky Keys ruins me.

...yet another case where, according to marketing, we are asked "where do you want to go today?" - but in reality, the software companies, particularly Microsoft, is confident that they know what we want more than we do... and thrusts that upon us at every chance.

Chrispminis, quit looking at pron on your computer and your keys won't get so sticky...

try throwing your computer in a lake, it will indeed solve your extremely strange problem.

Jacob: it's expensive.

Dexter, I've had those all turned off for ages... I hate all those accessibility options. The only thing that I can think of that might make a difference is that I JUST dropped a new Phenom II in my computer. I kind of doubt that's related though. Also, it hasn't happened again... maybe it is haunted.

My favorite pet explanation is cosmic rays.

'press the shift key several times (5?) in quick succession...'

Funny how that still works after all these years of technical progress and browser wars.

It's not the pr0n! It's the shift key! Or... maybe I have an elaborate fetish that makes them one and the same...

I've had the same problem and I've got the same version of Firefox as you.

Something like that happened on my old computer, a hammer to the keyboard stopped it in its tracks.

but I love my keyboard! :'(
