Half a Page of Scribbled Linux

The oddest thing started happening about a week ago. When I sign on to Lotus Domino Web Access (Lotus Notes over the web) and create a new message, pressing either Fn, function keys, page up, page down, home, end, Windows key or the arrow keys in the message editor pops up a Del.icio.us “Save A Bookmark” dialog. This happens in Firefox under Linux and Windows.

I tried loading the Delicious plug-in for Internet Explorer as a test and it said this:

This update has two important changes, so please upgrade now!
1) Fix for a problem in the previous release that sometimes resulted
in being blocked from Delicious.
2) New feature that allows Delicious keyboard shortcuts
customization via a preferences dialog.

That second feature raised an eyebrow. So I didn’t load that, keeping Delicious v1.10|b269. No problems with Domino. Then I let the upgrade install, giving me Delicious v1.11|b272. That wasn’t broken either. So it looks to be specific to the Firefox plug-in.

In Firefox I went to Tools/Delicious Options, Keyboard shortcuts tab and checked “Keep the standard Firefox bookmarks keyboard shortcuts”. This didn’t help, so I unchecked it.

Next, I disabled the Delicious plug-in (Tools/Add-ons menu) and restarted Firefox. No problem with Domino.  Re-enabling it brought the problem back.

Next, I went to the Advanced tab and clicked “Switch to Classic Mode”.  Still broken.
