after clicking once in a text box I can not click anywhere else in said text box or i loose the ability to type/edit the text. This is a problem this browser has had since the beta is it specific to Mac's or what because I see this as a major problem. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and everything. I now officially hate your browser. also whenever i go to start it a pop up comes up that says error.... and then i click ok and i can run the browser same thing happens whenever a pop-up comes up it does not block pop-ups and i have the pop-up blocker on i truly hate this browser! The pop-up that comes up says this "can't create mcafee plug-in object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined" elaborate please!!!!!!!

I am not even a Mac user but a suggestion

  1. try disabling McAfee site advisor if you have it installed
  2. if that helps then try updating it to the very latest version

Also you mention Beta versions of Firefox. If there is any possibility that you have been using multiple versions of Firefox, then note it would be a good idea to ensure each is used in its own separate and unique profile
