Recommend Product: YES
Shortly after the update to 1.5.0.2 (no option to say no - just a dialogue that said "Firefox has been updated. You must restart it now. OK" while we had a bunch of tabs open...) frequently (a dozen times last night) single line text fields on multiple sites refused to accept input. Clicking within them or tabbing would not get the cursor to appear and no text appeared anywhere if we just started typing - hoping it was a cosmetic issue. Page reloads and emptying the cache did not work. Only quitting Firefox and re-opening the page would let us enter text once this happend.

Could be an extension problem? - Notary Sojac
The only Firefox extension installed on that Mac is AdBlock Plus and it's current.I just had the very same thing happen here at work and I have no added extensions at all (just the standard DOM Inspector and blasted TalkBack.) I just now found that if I switched to another application for about a minute, when I returned to Firefox the text fields were again accessable.

Either that, or the update didn't work properly. I would download 1.5.0.2 again since it contains security fixes.Reply to This
