Firefox 11 appears to default to an on-screen keyboard that pops up whenever I attempt to type in a box. I'm unable to dismiss it.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of this very annoying feature?

It doesn't do that for me. I'd suggest going through your Preferences and see of something got set wrong.
If there is any mention of this, I can't discover it.

That happened to me. Just quit Firefox and reboot your computer -- in my case this was enough to solve the problem.

Alas, this did not work for me, but thanks for the reply.

Had exactly the same problem, with XFCE. There is a package called caribou-antler-0.4.1-3.fc16.x86_64 Description : This package contains caribou keyboard implementation
I killed the process and the keyboard disappeared.
However, my firefox is also chattering incessantly; in an attempt to stop it, i went to about:config, changed a configuration item; I think it was accessibility:usetexttospeech, and changed it from default to false.
Then any attempt to type anything into the URL bar caused firefox to lock up. I rebooted the computer, and the chattering is back, but at least I can type URLs.
I do not have either of these problems with four other computers, just one at work. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Solution: see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805514, which points to https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8589, which indicates that you need to disable GNOME Services. This is a check box: Settings -> Session and Startup -> Advanced [tab] -> uncheck Launch GNOME services on startup.
After logging out and back in, my Firefox is mute and caribou keyboard free.
Good question. There were indeed a couple of gratuitous plugins, but disabling them made no difference. I don't have any keyboard apps installed.
BTW, I'm running XFCE4, but there have been no recent updates.

Pleas stop breaking replies by top-posting.
In a terminal type: rpm -qa | grep eekboard
If you have it installed. Could be going schizoid.
