Recently, after prolonged use of firefox, it seems to stop recognising keyboard output. The problem dissapears after I shut it down and open it back, and the problem doesn't occur in Safari. If it helps, I'm normally watching videos on youtube when this occurs. Any ideas as to how to fix this?? :confused:

YEAH! That happens to me also. It's just a glitch, but normally I'm using a flash site (like an online textbook or youtube). It goes away after I hide the app and then unhide it (most of the time, at least).

Happens to me sometimes. Have discovered if you tab to another open application, make it current, then tab back to Firefox, the problem is solved i.e you can now type in the search window or address window
