I just got firefox today and I'm having some typing problems. Its hard to explain, but sometimes when I type a letter or something it will go back to the last letter I typed and type backwards. I don't think I explained that well, but if you know what I'm talking about please help.

dnt think i can really help you srry but you could try simple things like

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reinstall firefox

 

 

 

double check its the latest version

 

 

 

download all patches from http://www.windowsupdate.com

 

 

 

maybe plug you keyboard into a different usb port?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not sure if any of those will work but it cant hurt to try

 

 

 

:wink:

It's a known bug.... From http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=236503

1) Text cursor moves erratical. We do not think this is RuneScape specific problem. As far as we can tell this is simple a race condition in firefox's textbox code such that if the computer is at 100% CPU load the text cursors no longer moves properly. You can reproduce this bug by loading up ANY java applet that uses 100% cpu and then trying to type into the address bar or any of firefoxes windows. The reason only some people see this is people with very fast computer can play runescape without hitting 100% cpu. Write yourselves a simple test applet that uses several threads to thoroughly eat all the cpu and then you'll see it happening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So your current best bet is:

 

 

 

1) Update JAVA & Firefox, see if it helps

 

 

 

2) getting a faster computer or playing on low detail or turning off other programs you run in the background

 

 

 

3) Nag Jagex to make their code use less CPU.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the mean time, volunteers from all over the world will be working on a lot of stuff for Firefox, including trying to fix your problem Smile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I knew I'd seen the same problem somewhere. :P

This is a known issue with firefox... for some reason it only happens when your computer is using alot of CPU. There really is no 'fix' for it besides doing less at once :wink:

The most practical solution is to use IE for Runescape, and FF for all your other browsing.
