control, and Left-Arrow

"about:config"
and press

4. If you are presented with a dialog which warns you about the dangers
of making changes,
Tab
to the
"I'll be careful, I promise!"
button and press

..
5. At this point you should be out of Browse mode and on a filter Edit
Box. If not,
turn off Browse mode by pressing
Control-Shift-A

6. In the filter Edit Box type
"direct2d.disabled"

This happens to me as well with TB 31.0, Win7 64 bit. Changing mouse
