Since updating Firefox I can not send an e-mail without having to reposition the cursor back to the address line. Before the cursor remained in the address line and I would just have to press a letter in order to get all my contacts with that letter pulled up. I would select one and it would appear in the address line, I would than press another letter to get another address. Now I have to reposition the cursor back to the address line after every selection. However if I use Microsoft it still operates the old way.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
A troubleshooting mode.
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.
