I play an online RPG. When playing the game a typing through the chat, I attempt to switch to another tab. When trying to type anything in the tab, everything being typed is ending up in the chat box from the game. This is happening every time while connected to the game and does not make a difference if it is a new or existing tab that I am switching to.

Hi,

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode after enabling only Flash or Java or the plugin installed by the site in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons > Plugins.

May not be related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated

  • Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
  • When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)
