Sometimes when I open a new tab and type in a link to the address bar the text shows up but when I press enter it won't load, not even pressing the Go button. Sometimes the words would overlap each other switching the beginning letters into the end. The line that blanks while you type doesn't show up either. Also when I go on youtube and I type in the comment box the text would show up as gray and when I want to post it nothing happens, it didnt recognize I typed something, same with Facebook, I type in a comment the text shows up gray and it didnt erase the defult "Add Comment" text while I type I couldn't highlight it either. Also sometimes I couldnt click on videos such as the tumblr videos. It happens at least few times a day and if it happens I would have to open new tab(s) in order to type normally.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)

  • 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.

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.

If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

When you figure out what is causing that, please let us know. It might help other user's who have that problem.

I tried and ran in SafeMode and it still does it. The only extension I enabled right now in normal mode is AdBlock Plus
