29.0.1

Every 5 characters I type it seems I get this hugely annoying console at the bottom of my screen-from my left hand apparently accidentally hitting the CTRL & Shift keys with my left palm as I type (?). It gets even worse when it apparently interferes with my plugins like flashblock and noscript and starts to flash like mad. Assistance greatly appreciated… :mad:
