Very strange problem..
every now and then my laptop will act like im holding down the control key and if i try to click anything in firefox it highlights a bunch of stuff and if i click on a bookmark it gives me a warning that 67 tabs are about to be opened, but if i hit control again its fine.... anybody have any idea why? the key isnt sticking or anything like that...

Sounds to me like the key is getting stuck...It might not look stuck, but since you mention hitting it again fixes the problem.....

That doesn't mean it isn't the key...
Have you tried tapping it forcefully when this happens to see if it stops? -Kev

Never heard of that kind of problem related to Firefox... Normally it's a keyboard issue. Have you tried a different kybrd?
