I'm ready to drop Firefox because Scratchpad repeatedly opens anytime I have to Capitalize anything and at no time have I ever used the Web Developer tool

Have used Firefox for many years on multiple computers. On the home desktop, anytime you need to CAP a letter, Scratchpad opens instead. Every single time!

This is only having on this one computer, none of the others.

I have completely uninstalled, cleaned and purged Firefox from this computer multiple times. I have run multiple virus checks. I have done the Firefox reset multiple upon multiple times.

Yesterday I completely uninstalled every scrap related to Firefox I could find on the system, did a system clean to get rid of hidden and duplicate files, and with what I hoped was a clean system, reinstalled the latest version of FF. Same problem.

WHY is Scratchpad coming up anytime I hit the Shift key?

Somehow the developer tools and Scratchpad still show up and ultimately the problems start again.

Hello Mark, I can understand your frustration with this issue - especially after you are running into this issue after resetting your computer too.

Can you please check if the scratchpad comes up, if you disable the setting devtools.scratchpad.enabled by setting the value to false. You can do this by following the instructions in the Mozillazine about modifying the configuration of Mozilla Editing About:Config

Thank you

That seems to have fixed it. Haven't had Scratchpad pop up even once since I followed your directions.

THANKS!
