Windows 10: Keyboard not working - redirecting to bookmark tab

Every time I type any key into my keyboard it either does not register, or when it does on edge or chrome, it automatically directs to the bookmarks tab. I already restarted my computer, updated keyboard drivers, attempted different USB ports, and successfully used the keyboard on a different computer.

How do I edit my bookmarks in Windows 10?

I found this works for Windows 10:

• Select the "STAR", upper right which shows your Favorites, Feeds, History tabs & has an"Add to Favorites" drop down menu box. Forget the Add Favorites dropdown.
• Under the Favorites TAB you will see a list of all your book marks and bookmark folders. Scroll through list until you find the Folder: Favorites Bar, then open. [You will see all your favorite bookmarks that always show in your easy access bookmarks bar,
  just underneath EI search box.]
• Scroll through list, and select bookmark you want to remove and Right Click selection.
  • You will get a dropdown window, select Delete & left click - bookmark is deleted.
  • repeat steps as necessary for additional bookmarks.

Works every time.

 

Keyboard Not working in Windows 10

Hi,

We would suggest you to update your keyboard driver. To update your keyboard driver, follow the steps below:

• Click the Start button, type "device manager" in the search box, and then select Device Manager.
• In the list of hardware categories, look for Keyboards and then double-click it.
• Click on the Keyboard tab and choose Update Driver, and then follow the instructions.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Firefox has hidden my bookmarks

I can only address the library button behaviour: I have never used it, but now see that it does, as you have found, only show recent bookmarks. If it ever behaved differently I wouldn't know. I did search for help on how to modify what the library button offers up, and found references to 'bookmarking tools' on the bottom of this page:
Eliminate "Recently Bookmarked" and show the "Other Bookmarks" bookmarks in the sequence I want | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support
But I can find no such option when I try to reproduce the suggested action. Since a list of only recent bookmarks is no use to me, I decided I will hide the library button - and in its place add the 'bookmarks' one, which does at least open up my complete list of bookmarks, as shown here:




Note that I usually have the FF menu showing, so access bookmarks from that. I also often use the bookmarks sidebar, and have just discovered that icon to the right of the 'library' one does just that - it toggles whichever sidebar (bookmarks, history, synced tabs) was most recently used. Live & learn!

I did find references elsewhere to using css files to tweak the menus, but that is a step too far for me.
