I am having problem editing bookmarks in Firefox (version 13.0.1) with my new laptop running on Windows 7. When I click on the star icon on the location bar in Firefox, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box is displayed. If I place my cursor on any of the button like 'Remove Bookmark' button and then move the cursor away from the button, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box closes automatically. When attempting to change the Name input field in 'Edit This Bookmark' box, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box closes automatically after I press a key on the keyboard (ie. if I want to change the name to 'xyz', the box closes after I enter 'x'). I click on the star icon on the location bar again, the ‘Edit This Bookmark’ box is displayed with Name field shown as ‘x’. I tried the same actions on a PC running on Windows 7 with the same Firefox version (13.0.1) and there is no problem. The box only closes after I click on 'Remove Bookmark', 'Done' or 'Cancel' button as expected. Please help.

Thanks Co-rel. I disabled the hardware acceleration in Firefox and the problem is resolved.
