Firefox 19 (& 18): when I type it skips back & deletes characters & types over them. Please fix!

Unbelievable! I had this problem back in 2011 with one of the single digit versions of firefox and it's back! This has been happening for months since version 18 or before, I don't really pay attention to versions but it's gotten to the point where it's embarrassing: I get called out a retard because I don't notice the skip/back-trace and then I end up with the weirdest typos on forum comments and email etc.
Can't you guys fix this please? It's really annoying and very obvious. You guys released a prompt update for the old single digit version (which I re-downloaded a few months ago trying to avoid the problems since version 15) and indeed the next version had the update/upgrade that fixed this skip/backtrace. I'm sure if you have versions 18-19 and possibly before you have this problem too!

Thanks for replies but I'm sorry but why should I switch to safe mode? I don't have any viruses. Does it make any sense to you that I should read a mile long page that I can't begin to even understand (yeah not a techie here) when YOU PEOPLE SHOULD provide a firefox version that works properly. Get with it and release the version that doesn't have this problem, please. Some of us don't have the time to study internet mechanics 101, we hold 2 jobs and don't get home till 1:40 am and have to eat shower and go to bed to get up at 5:16 (sleep that one extra minute) only to do it all over again. So sorry if I'm a tad miffy, I already work 2 jobs, I can't work your job to fix your errors. How's about releasing a proper version for pete's sakes!?

    A 6 year user of Firefox, and all of a sudden you are complaining about the lack of a toll-free telephone support number?
    Mozilla has '''''never''''' provided telephone support, and probably never will due to the cost involved.
    How would they amortize the cost of that type of operation, while providing a free browser to everyone around the globe who uses it?
    If you can figure out a way to do that, I'm sure they would listen to your proposal.

    If you want support in this forum, from the user volunteers who help other users, please explain your problem with a little more detail. And maybe provide a screenshot of your problem, so we can actually "see" your problem and not have to rely on your verbal interpretation of that problem.

  • Why the game: Injustice, when play with the challenge will direct close the game? Please fix it.

    You need to speak to the developer. They should have some sort of contact link on their iTunes page.  This is just a user to user tech support forum, no one here has any sort of control over apple or what developers do.
    The game developer may also have some sort of fix on their site, so look there.

  • My scroll feature of the Lenovo ThinkPad(red scroll) is not working in the new Firefox 4. It was working fine in 3.6. Can you please fix this as this is very important feature.

    The scroll feature(middle button) is not working on the new firefox 4. So because of this I need to move the scroll bar to move the page. This is very irritating problem, if you are a guy who uses the middle button to scroll. Can you please fix this..
    Thanks!!!

    I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
    So glad to get this working again.

  • The contents of my emails are not showing when I open in my usual Firefox. However, if I open in explorer all contents are displayed. I prefer Firefox and don't want to switch back to Explorer. Can you please help me with this situation?

    I have always been able to open my emails and access their contents using Firefox. Now, this morning, I can no longer access the contents of my emails, but can still open them.
    I called 'virginmedia' who told me to try using Explorer, which worked, and they told me the problem was with Firefox.

  • Firefox hangs when I visit a wordpress 3.1 page in a theme and update it

    Hi,
    I use wordpress 3.1. I use a theme and sometimes (unexpectedly) when I try to update the page firefox hangs. Sometimes I can force quit, sometimes not. Upon restart it signals another version is running, this is not the case. I cannot find the file in the library section of my mac to remove the profiles file, because it is not visible as such
    All other browsers do not respond anymore. I have to restart my computer. On my Iphone I do have internet so this is not my network
    I tried installing, deinstalling and even updating to the beta and going back to cureent version again...
    Please HELP I am going nuts ;-)

    Hi Jumpman,
    Thank you for your question. In order to clarify: the mobile bookmarks have their own folder by default. Check out the Bookmark Manager in Show all Bookmarks.
    Also, there is a new version of sync. Make sure you are all set up with the new account with these instructions: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]

  • Firefox crashes when loading any page with flash. I have tried all available fixes including plugin updates. If I disable flash the crashes stop, but no flash.

    Firefox crashes on any page with flash. I have the most recent version of Firefox on OSX Snow Leopard. I have made sure that I have all the most recent plugins and extensions and I am not running any custom theme. I have completely un-installed and re-installed Firefox and flash to no avail. I think the problem is in some user preference, but I cannot seem to find it. If I log out and use a different user on my machine, Firefox does not have the flash crash problem.
    == Crash ID(s) ==
    ??

    JYOuyang: I have the correct plugin for Flash. My problem is not the "Flash crashed" icon, which would be generally acceptable, but FIREFOX crashing, usually rather dramatically. I have since regressed to Firefor 3.6.3. I am still using Flash 10.1, the newest version. This no longer causes Firefox to crash. Now then -- if the same plugin causes no crashes in the new version of Firefox and does cause crashes in the prior version, it is not exactly a humongous leap to conclude that maybe, just maybe, there was a bug introduced in Firefox 3.6.4? I mean, it's not as if a major feature of 3.6.4 was a significant change in how plugins interact with the browser or anything... oh, wait, there was, wasn't there? Hmmm. Saying "It's Adobe's fault!" rings a little hollow when the 10.1 plugin works correctly in the prior version of Firefox. Any kind of host/plugin model relies on a contract between the host and the plugin, and when there's a crash, it indicates one side or the other broke that contract. Under the circumstances, it's difficult not to suspect the blame for this lies on the Firefox side. It's certainly possible that Adobe's code IS broken and the problem is that it SHOULD work with the new version of Firefox, if it were properly written, but it's not, so it doesn't. However, no one seems to want to dig down to find out or provide a workaround other than regressing to 3.6.3, so that's what I've done -- Firefox does too many other things right for me to switch browsers at this point.

  • I downloaded Firefox, then when it was done two new apps called Ot Shot and PC Fix Speed appeared, i recently had a blue screen and think i got a virus

    I think i may have gotten a virus from downloading firefox

    The '''Mozilla.org''' Firefox installer only installs the Firefox program.
    Where did you get your Firefox? You should get the program from
    '''Mozilla.org'''. If you got it from somewhere else, it may have been hacked.
    Try to remove all of those programs using the Win Uninstaller.

  • In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

    I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

    Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

  • Firefox crashed when I brought it back all Toolbars were gone, how do I recover them?

    FireFox crashed, When I brought it back up my toolbars were gone. How do I get them back? they are not under history either. Should I try reloading Firefox. This is the first problem I have had with this browser.

    First, lets work on the crash. Loading back your profile may result
    in wasting time if it crashed again.
    Look on your desktop. Is there a folder called''' Old Firefox?'''
    In the address bar, type '''about:crashes'''<enter>.''' Note:''' If any reports do not
    have '''BP''' in front of the numbers, click it and select '''Submit'''.
    Using your mouse, '''mark''' the most '''resent 7 - 10''' crash reports, and
    '''copy''' them. Now go to the reply box below and '''paste''' them in.

    when I try to go back a page on a spicific site, it won't allow it on firefox, I can on IE but seldom use it, why? I have made numerous changes to security and other settings but to no end. I can screen capture the event and send it to anyone, to see what is wrong. the capture says that the page expired and is no longer available and to resend it. however that happens immediately in time when trying to back up.
