I have to go to the Task Manager to End Task (to close browser:Firefox, Google Chrome)I restored my OS from my previous Norton Ghost image, but nothing changed.1.There are not any viruses (scan with ESET NOD32 Antivirus)2.I can use the keyboard almost everywhere but browsers (Firefox,Google Chrome)3.Firefox SaveMode - The same, nothing changed.4.My KB has USB connection, but I tried to use my old one (old cable connection) and there is the same situation.P.S. Every time when I try to type Firefox freezes, and I have to Start Task Manager to close it.I did CMD SFC /scannow and it found nothing. :argh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted November 19, 2014 Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2014 Can you use a different browser, say Chrome? Just to verify that its not your keyboard thats the issue. You try reinstalling Firefox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldiers33 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 does it work in IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetw0lf Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Try Firefox with a new profile. If Chrome has something similar try that in Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted November 19, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 19, 2014 Disable any extensions, restart the browser and see if it helps. I had a strange problem with Firebug Lite in Chrome where I could not get the correct right click menu in text boxes, after disabling it I haven't seen the problem come back.

That's what safe-mode is all about and the OP stated he did use it. Do as I said with a new profile. This rules out all add-ons and it sets your prefs to their defaults. If you KB works, then it's either an add-on causing the problem or a preference. Either way you are going to have to nail down the culprit through trial and error.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted November 19, 2014 Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2014 Skype, too? This doesn't sound browser specific. I think you have a virus/malware. Get the free version of Malwarebytes and run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAZMINATOR Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Restart your PC and see if it solves the problem. I had that problem before. So I restarted my PC and it works. If not, then you have to format and re-install ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
