Chosen solution

It is possible that some of the status keys have the wrong state and Firefox sees them as still pressed.

Try to press all the status keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt) a few times to see if that helps to recover from this.
If it doesn't help then close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer.
