hadgan Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 When I type in Firefox, the letters sometimes appear to the LEFT of the cursor instead of the right. Anybody know how to fix it? For example, here's what happens when I try to type "The dog jumped over the tall fence." The dgumped over the tall ence.fj o (BTW, it works fine in IE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 it's a known bug with firefox. It has to do with java. When playing runescape (or anything with java) it can start happening. I think it's fixed in 1.0.4 http://www.getfirefox.com and download the newest version. If it still happens then the bug is not fixed. Here's an alternitive solution use the runescape client for playing runescape and firefox for everything else. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadgan Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 1.0.4 is what I'm using. And I sometimes play RS in Firefox to block those annoying popups that started appearing from Runescape a while ago.... :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 hmm pop ups? never got any, might be spyware. Download ad-aware and spybot search and destroy, update to the latest definitions, and then scan. Make sure your computer is all patched from windowsupdate.microsoft.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battletrax Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I've always used IE for rs with no popup blocker and I've never gotten a popup. You should do a spyware check asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonda Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 yup, like he said: Known issue, hoever still not fixed. Just use the RS client to play, that way you are playing with IE and you can still type in FF ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayjest Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I used to get this alot. Then it stopped, and then I downloaded the latest firefox. Not sure why it stopped beforehand. And I've never had a popup from RS. Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is! Stupid MTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadgan Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 I tried using Norton Antivirus, Ad Aware, and Spy Sweeper and I still got popups. Deleting all my cookies didn't work either. >_< The popups are from the ads at the top, when they change, I usually get a popup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade995 Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Are you using IE to veiw this site? Use firefox to browse every website besides runescape (since you have problems with java). IE is full of sercurity holes, thats why you should use firefox :wink: I use firefox for this site, never have gotten a pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use firefox to play RS and browse forums at the same time, something with the way java works on FF will messup the way that you type on pretty much anything whether it be word or the tip.it forums.
