    I was typing up an essay, couldn't think of what I was gonna say next, all of a sudden this pop up comes up asking if I would like to toggle stickykeys, and if not hit Cancel
    so I hit cancel
    StickyKeys is on anyway
    I tried to get StickyKeys off for the next half hour, as my computer refused to restart, and I don't like fuckign with hard rebooting
    so when I give in and hit the power button on and off
    everything seems normal
    but firefox will not fucking start
    I fuck around with my processes in the taskmanager, try again, with no luck
    turn off my firewall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall, nothing, fucking nothing
    checked firefox' website, nothing there helped, running spybot now
    how am I gonna use the internet without firefox? ='(

    Well you could get Clint Eastwood to pose as Mitchell Gant (a burntout, PTSS vietnam vet) to sneak behind enemy lines, penetrate a high-security mozilla firewall, and steal firefox2 :H

    I restarted again, and it works :eek:

    furthermore, my bookmark back up folder isn't empty like it was when I checked previously

    I think my computer has AI and just loves to fuck with me

    If you hold down the shift key for 8 seconds that happens...next time hold down the other shift key for 8 seconds to turn it off...

    I would like to say that the sticky keys function is the most stupid and useless fuction and I personally think it was added as a joke to piss us off.

    At times, it's not the technology that's stupid.

    At times, it's the person using the technology that's stupid.

    I tried holding down the shift key
    I tried hitting it five times
    I tried toggling it on and off in the menu
    I tried pressing two keys at once, which is another way to shut it off

    it would not turn off
