Argghh help

I am having a strange problem with my laptop.

When trying to navigate every click is opening a new window.

So to write this post, I have MSE forums index in first window, another for techie stuff and a third for new thread.

Also my home, page up, page down, end keys are not working and arrow keys won't scroll. I must use the bar on the right hand side.

Further when in my gmail account a window pops up when trying to open mail saying a pop up blocker is preventing.

So far I can't see any browser (firefox 2) faults or settings changed.

I did ( embarrassingly :o ) fall asleep with a hand on the keyboard. Who knows what I may have pressed or short cut enabled etc.

I am using a Sony Vaio VGN-FE31H with XP SP2 and firefox.

Any ideas to undo/fix it as it's a right PITA.
I have a cunning plan!
Proud to be dealing with my debts.

    D'oh

    That would be the obvious answer.

    I'm not that old (41) honest, must have been that bottle of red I had last night.
