Mozilla Corp. will probably release a Firefox update tomorrow to patch a bug in the just-released 2.0.0.10 version, according to the company's bug database.
If so, it would mark the first time that Mozilla has released two versions of the open-source browser in the same week.
A bug in rendering "canvas" HTML elements worked its way into Firefox 2.0.0.10, the edition Mozilla released Monday to fix six other vulnerabilities. Canvas elements, which were first used by Apple Inc. in its Safari browser, let Web site designers dynamically render bitmap images in HTML. Firefox, Safari and Opera support Canvas natively; Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer does so with a plug-in.
All editions of Firefox 2.0.0.10 -- for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux -- break pages that include the Canvas element, and cripple at least two Firefox extensions, FoxSaver and Fotofox.

This may not have anything to do with your actual keyboard, but that Firefox somehow doesn't restore the key states properly.

lol this happens with my laptop, my alt key stays stuck from while to while.. my poor laptop
damned filth
not complaining though
same goes for windows too, or anything developed by MS
IE usually follow the same Patch Tuesday schedule, besides in very rare circumstances (more rare than Mozilla updating the browser when it needs to).
Anyway this is the 2nd time in like a month that they have had to rush an update out after regressions were found after a fix. I'm not sure your comaparrison to MS changes the fact that both 2.0.9 and the soon to be released 2.0.11 were released to fix issues introduced in the previous version. Perhaps they could do with a bit of extra testing before putting these out.
You know, as an INTERNET user I hold a fervent wish that little boy trolls like you (you must be a little boy, otherwise your attitude and immaturity are even more shocking) would all simultaneously suffer massive coronaries, so as to free the resources of our internet just that much more for the rest of us. Take your close-minded elite open-source attitude away from a conversation that you've tried to steer away from the fact that it was an open-source app that needed emergency patching in the first place.
I do use both browsers IE7 (default) for normal surfing and browsing and Firefox 2.0 with an anonymous web surfing and security tunnel enabled. For security sensitive sites.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you did (and/or are doing) something wrong. I know you hate to hear me say that, but 99.999% of the time the kind problem you describe so eloquently (and I use that term loosely) is the user's fault.
Now, if you would please be so kind as to get your foot out of your mouth so you can take a few deep breaths and calm down, perhaps you could go describe your issue in the relevant forums over at http://www.techsupportforum.com/ where you may actually find a solution to your problem (well, your firefox-related problem, anyway).
I'm thinking no.
I'm thinking no.
They don't normally rush out versions that break IE, but when they have, yes, they are quick about it.
Keep up the good work.
hope it will work ok and on monday i wont start the day with 2.0.0.12
