Why do third-party keyboard apps have problems in Mozilla Browser for Android?
I have a third-party app that I use as a keyboard: SwiftKey X. whenever I select this keyboard as my default and start typing, be it in text-fields on site itself or the adressbar, it never seems to get the text right. For example; it deletes words without me wanting to. Words get duplicated when trying to start new word. Suggestions get automatically inserted without being selected. But when I take the systems' default keyboard (Swype, I own a GT-N7000) than there's no problem. Does anyone know what could be going on?

Hi BryanBouws,
Can you try out Nightly (Firefox 20), and Aurora (Firefox 19) and report back here if things are working out for you?
On Nightly and Aurora we have recently addressed a number of keyboard related issues and both should have a number of fixes.
You may find Nightly available at: http://nightly.mozilla.org with an Android download link at the bottom.
Also, you may find Aurora for Android at: http://aurora.mozilla.org
Let us know if either Nightly or Aurora fixes your issues.
Edit: I would also try out iamjayakumars's suggestion above too.

Turn off the auto suggestion/complete/correct.

@iamjayakumars autocomplete/correct is turned on without issues, using Swype. No issues. It's just when I use swiftkey that the problem reproduces itself. -edit: even without autocomplete , using SwiftKey, it does this. AutoCorrect ruled out?
@AaronMT trying out Aurora now, Downloading nightly 20 after I've tried Aurora. Will report back asap.
thanks guys!
@AaronMT Aurora fixes the issue. And so does the nightly. I'm now typing using my SwiftKey app. Thanks for resolving! Also I think I might use Aurora as my default browser app. Thanks again, switching between keyboards drove me insane!
Note that Aurora is not really a version but rather a development channel where 19.0a2 is on currently and gets checkins almost every day so therefore a update each day. A single random build is not really meant to be used like a stable Release build.
