The microsoft on-screen keyboard doesn't work with firefox. I try to enter type and it jumps around the page. I can't select anything on drop down lists.

I tend to use the on-screen keyboard. For about two months I've been unable to type text in firefox. I can't use dropdown boxes. I have to text to notepad then copy and paste it. I realize this is hardly a critical issue but I've loved using firefox for years and am considering going to another browser if I can't resolve this.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode
While you are in safe mode;
Firefox Options > Advanced > General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration. Restart FF. If there is still a problem, check caret browsing <F7>. It might have been turned on.
