Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

I downloaded Firefox 2.0 and have since had major problems with typing and viewing text. Words are smushed together, and when I type words disappear. It's super weird and it makes Firefox unusable.

Text problems - dabdidea

I am getting regular blocking of typing in firefox. I will be browsing away when suddenly I can't type anything in the browser- address bar, form fields, anywhere.

The workaround I'm using is to open a word processor, type in there so my mac remembers what to do (there's a slight delay when I start to type as if its rethinking the whole I'm not typing thing). Once I can type again in there I can go back into firefox and type away.

Weird!

And it sucks!

Text problems - MrMediocre

I was having a similar problem typing text into forms. I found that adjusting and customizing the "montotype" setting in the "advanced" text preferences fixed it for me... at least for now.

The keyboard doesn't work right, neither does the tab.

Sometimes cannot select the field to type into???

I tried with the same extensions as 1.5.0.1
and with no extensions.

I prefer to use TMN, Tor, FoxyProxy but not sure if
they're compatible with FF v2.
