Help - Firefox (edited)

Ok, it’s not as good as some of its more keen advocates say. But its probably better than IE.

HOWEVER, I can’t use it as whenever I type anything – in the google search box, in the google add-on search box, in the blogger text box, etc, it types backwards. You can stop it doing this by typinge o n e l e t t e r a t a time, but that is painful. What’s odd is that it does this both at home and at work, yet I can see no reference to it on the internet (as in no-one else seems to have this problem). Has anyone got any ideas what has happened?

Actually looking more closely it doesn’t write backwards. What happens is say you are writing ‘Blogger’, then you type B l o g etc and instead of typing normally the g will insert itself before the o, and then maybe it will let you type another g, but then the e will overwrite the g. . i.e the cursor sometimes goes before the letter rather than after it. Isn’t that strange?
