Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

This rev still has the problem that was introduced in 1.5 where intermittantly you cannot type in any text field in the window (address field, search field, text fields in the displayed page, etc) unless you switch to any other application then back to Firefox. Then you can again type.

We have this on all Macs with Firefox 1.5x, but none with pre-1.5 versions.

Does not depend on if the Mac is running Panther or Tiger and does not depend on what Extensions are installed in Firefox - my copy here at the office has only the stock current DOM inspector and Talkback and it still has this issue.

Text field bug still present - Ted Delaplaine

On a Mac I have this problem as well - for months - VERY FRUSTRATING. I have to clear private data constantly to be able to input anything. Firefox doesn't care - there are tens of thousand of us who cannot use Firefox because of this bug and they won't do anything - just try and get them to answer your email!

Also my windows jump back and forth between monitors - man, I loved Firefox when it came out - now it's an evil demon. I am a web developer so I have to use it.

What did I do to deserve this!!!
