Hi, I sometimes have an annoying problem where I left click on a link, and the Download box appears and then the page is downloaded. Its really annoying when my Desktop starts to get filled up with HTML pages as this is where I set Firefox to save its downloads. Thus at the end if the day, I have to trash anywhere between 5-10 files.
When this happens, I find the only way to stop it is to press the Esc key once and then I can continue browsing fine, until the next time it happens. Because of this, I believe that maybe something is bugged where a key is pressed down while I left click on a link. But I only just formatted and did a fresh install of Windows and Firefox last week, and my keyboard is clean. I'm not that clumsy to accidently have something resting on the keyboard keys when I type too.
The keyboard is a black USB microsoft I bought for a tenner.
Any ideas anyone?
