I'm using swift key for my android keyboard and it is not playing well at all with ff mobile.

The keyboard will appear and I can type a few letters and then get a forced close after appearing to hang for a bit.

I tried turning off the auto language feature (changed it to English and it appeared to have helped for a few moments but then the forced close happened again.

Sorry about that! The developers of SwiftKey are aware of this bug, and we are working with them on it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298

For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard while using Firefox.

A fix for this bug will be included in the next version of Firefox, which will be available in a month or two. You can help us test the fix now by downloading a "Nightly" or "Aurora" preview build from this page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
