Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:

  • Windows/Mac: Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
  • Linux: Run firefox -safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

Yes, I tried that before, but the problem still exists.

Also I "reset" the Firefox, but ...

Can you give us the troubleshooting information from the Firefox installation that's having problems?dd This is an essential step in troubleshooting.

  • Click the Firefox button at the top left (or for Firefox 29 and above, click The image "new fx menu" does not exist.) then click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information from the sub-menu. If you don't have a Firefox button, click the Help menu at the top and select Troubleshooting Information from the menu.

Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.

  • At the top of the page, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
  • Now, go back to your forum post and click inside the reply box. Press Ctrl+V to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.

Did you try another keyboard?

What is the delay as set for auto-repeat in the Windows Control Panel?.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

I did not test another key board, but as I said since it works in other programs correctly, so the key board is OK.

Yes, it works well in safe-mode.

I disabled all of the extensions, but the problem still exists. When I boot in Safe-Mode it works well. No Problem.
