    Hello! :)

    I just installed Firefox 2. I did not upgrade from an earlier version, as I reinstalled the computer before I did it, so this was a fresh install of FF. I'm running windows xp pro.

    For some strange reason the tab key won't work in Firefox. If I try to log in to my mail for example, and I want to "tab" from addy to password field, nothing happens. Nothing is wrong with the keyboard, tab key works fine on IE and other programs. Alt-tab also works like a charm.

    Also, I don't seem to be able to use the shortcuts Ctrl C and Ctrl V for copy and paste from web sites to email and forums etc. I can copy from a text body and paste, but I can't select text on a website and paste it in to a text body. The F1 for Help does not work either, so I think this is a general command problem.

    Anyone heard of issues like this in regards to Firefox 2 ? I have tried to search for the answer, but finding it difficult to find what I'm looking for, you can imagine how many hits I get with search words like Firefox and Tab... ;)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    Never mind... Figured it out.

    Disabled the extensions one by one, and found the culprit. One of my favorite extensions, Paste & Go caused the problem! :(

    Ah well, maybe it will be updated at some point! :)

    All the time I have used online forums, I have used ALT-S to submit my posts so I did not have to take my hands off the keyboard.

    That command now maps to HiStory in FF 2.0.

    :mad:

    Aww that is too bad!

    I have acquired a nasty habit of pressing the ctrl key most of the time, as I do that on a game I play... Pressing a bookmark with the ctrl button pressed causes the bookmark to download to desktop... Habits don't die easily!

    I'm very happy though, Paste and Go earlier version works, so I am on that till a new update is released! :)
