We have flash app and the recent update last week for 64 bit version has issue where when we type in anything in textbox, it doesn't take any input. No issues with 32 bit version with same flash player or older version of FF with same flash player. Any response or urgent fix is appreciated since our customers are complaining into his issue and we have not found any way to fix this or workaround this problem.

when mouse click the flash app text box, the keyboard can't input any text.

user has to click anywhere outside the Firefox browser, then click the flash app text box again, then the keyboard can input text.

looks like the first time clicking the flash app text box from inside the Firefox browser, it doesn't trigger keyboard focus in the text box.

this is an urgent bug in the new release, please fix this ASAP.

more update on this bug,

after the keyboard lost focus on text box, when using mouse click to change to any other page, any other places, the keyboard focus never recover...

the only way to recover keyboard focus is to click anywhere outside the browser, and click inside the browser again.

seems like this old old bug come back again.
