when i laod a web page with this browsser it seems like the cursor goes to nowhere or to a place that just overwrites things, like the subject line of a email reply is somebody going to fix this or should i just go find a browswer that functions i do not need the fancy stuff, just a browswer that places the cursor in the logical open data field have you been doing this long ?

You may have switched on caret browsing. You can toggle caret browsing off/on by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).

  • Settings -> General: Browsing
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Note that this is a Firefox accessibility feature.
