Mozilla Firefox problem.

Shigeto · **Posted:** April 21st, 2006, 1:59 pm

Right now the only thing stopping me from using Mozilla Firefox (I'm using IE atm (shock horror!)) is this problem, it's pretty annoying too!
I've downloaded Mozilla Firefox a number of time, installed it properly, opening it up fine but then when i click on the URL/address box (where you type in the website url) the cursor jumps around -
so when i type "www.rsbandb.com", as the cursor jumps around it ends up as "wwrsba.w.ndbcm.o" or something along those lines.
If anyone has any ideas how to help me, it would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

are you running the latest version? 1.5.0.2
did you restart after uninstalling and again after reinstalling?

this happens to me often and since i have had firefox for a long time...

this was supposedly one of the original errors with firefox, the browser needs a lot of memory to run. Just make sure all java based or other media applications are closed and it should work fine. Good luck!

ok, rs is a java based app, so if u want to surf and play rs at same time, use a combo of mozilla and internet explorer, play rs on one and browse on the other

I've looked around but couldn't find anything. The only time I've had this problem is on old school computers where I would open it and it would go to the home page. I would go to the address bar and type the address, but it would get all screwed up (like your problem). I say check to see if the page is loading before you start typing. Sorry, but that's all I can think of.
