As soon as I updated firefox the line that tells you where what you typed will appear in a text box, will show up and sit there blinking. Anywhere, the backround, in other text, in links, in buttons. I have done a clean install of firefox twice with the only thing saved is my favorites.

You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can toggle caret browsing on/off by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).
