Every time I type something in any search engine text box, such as Yahoo, or any time I try to type a URL address, the characters will automatically convert to Asian characters as soon as I hit the space bar. This is really aggravating. I need to turn off all Asian characters and I don't know how it got turned on.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

today

Hello Ryan.

I suggest you disable ALL plugins (not extensions, plugins), restart firefox, enable them again, and restart Firefox again. I hear some plugins (namely Real Player plugin or something like that) may cause this kind of problem.

If that doesn't help, please say so and we'll look at it in detail.
