Drop-down menus wig out, have to type backwards in address bar, etc.
When opening firefox, I noticed that my bookmarks were missing. I went to the drop-down menu to select view and the screen started scrolling all of the drop-down menus. I then moved onto the address bar and the cursor started moving to the beginning of the bar. When I typed in my address info, it would put the next letter in front of the last letter making my text enter in backwards from what I was typing.
My first thought is I have a virus, but my pc is protected. Firefox is the only program being affected. I can use IE explorere, but that is taking a step backwards in my opinion. I need this fixed asap. Help!!!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite
You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
