Hello,

So, i have this really anoying bug with Firefox:

Everytime i try to type @, it changes from the tab that i'm viewing, to another tab.
So, in order for me to use the @ character, i have to go to that tab that it goes to when i try to type the @, go to the address bar, and hold the alt+2 for a bit. When it writes the @, i copy and paste it where i want.

But this is really stupid!!! i have no ideia why this happens.

Any thoughts about this?

Are you typing alt-2?
The @ char is shift-2.
Don't know what alt-2 does in Firefox.

What kind of keyboard are you using? On a standard U.S. keyboard it's shift-2.
On a notebook or different country it may be something else. On mine, alt(option)-2 gives ™.
