Firefox 39 update causing glitches on flash based chat sites

Previously I was having problems with not being able to scroll on Flash based chat sites (problem still exists). The Firefox 39 update just installed and now the same Flash based chat sites are glitchy. When I am typing a message, the text starts jumping around and doing weird things. I know that Flash Player is partially to blame (it is up to date on my machine), but this latest Firefox update has added to the problem.

The chat sites utilize the 123 FlashChat software. I hope that someone can get this figured out quickly. I am running Mac OS 10.10.4.
