Hi,

I switched over to Firefox when the new browser came out and recently I've been noticing a problem in the Facebook chat. I'm from Sweden and while I'm trying to write the Swedish letters "åäö" I need to hold the key pressed for about half a second before the letter appears.

This problem only happens on Firefox and I've already switched the language to Swedish in the options.

Thankful of any help I can get, really enjoy using the new browser and this is the only issue that is bugging me. Cheers!

Chosen solution

Hi, wow long time no answer. Sorry about that. Usually that would be a OS issue.

  • Repair System Registry and Files

Find the Dos Prompt Right Click and Run as Administrator then : Copy/Paste to Dos Window : DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth then hit Enter Note : DISM goes up to Microsoft for new ones.

It could also be Ublock Origin extension should try with it disabled.

Does it work properly in Safe Mode ? SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
  • Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

Thanks för the help!

I've repaired system registry and files now. Gonna see if it helps.

Edit: Repairing system registry seemed to solve it! Thanks for the help.
