i got home from work and try to check my email, password is incorrect, so i try again, still incorrect, lame. i check capslock, it's fine.
so i retype my user name, and it comes out as random characters.

so i go to the address bar and try to type in an address, all wrong characters.

w=, ; c=j ; .=v ; t=y ; r=p
n=b ; e=. ; i=c ; b=x ; o=r
but a=a and m=m

explorer, word, notepad, excell are all fine, just firefox is screwy

uninstall and reinstall fixed the problem.

wtf was it?

Type the following into your browser for a laugh, much better than a Firefox bug.

Code:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

so it happened again with my fresh install.
and on further investigation it seems i've changed from a QWERTY keyboard layout to the DVORAK layout inadvertantly. twice.
anybody know what freakish combination of keys i've pressed to make it happen twice? or how to stop it doing it?

Try Opera. Mozilla really dropped the ball with FF2. FF1.5 is better, you could try going back to that version if your problem persists.
