Can't type when the are isn't selected or the pre inputted text doesn't get deleted. Also the area is auto selected when this is the case typing works fine. When the area isn't selected the problems start. Is there an option to fix this?

So what is the site and what kinda forms are they? Have you tried on different browsers to see what if anything else happens on when using a different browser? If the same issue happens then it would be site related. Also check to see your not using adblocker if so disable and see what happens.

It is a datepicker and some textboxes. In the datepicker typing isn't working at all and in the textboxes the pre inputted text will not be overwritten. Tried this in other browsers where the fields work fine. I don't have an adblocker problems started after the new update of Firefox.

So you can't give a site link for others reading here to test the input problems?
