When typing in the selected tab, it types in another opened tab that is not selected, how is this fixed?
For example: I have 3 tabs open. I have tab 1 selected, I switch to tab 3 and proceed to type (Log in details for example) When typing it out, the information I enter types out on tab 1, rather than 3, sometimes I don't check and press enter (Causing it to enter on tab 1, which could cause me to show my password on another site)
I have to switch between tabs like 3-4 times in order to sort the priority out.

Thanks for your reply cor-el.
What you have said has seem to have done the trick (For now) I can't force the problem at the moment to test if it's 100% fixed, will see how it goes today.
The add-on I think it's linked too it the "Smartest Bookmarks Bar 1.0.1.3".
If all goes well today I will mark this as solved, thanks again.
You're welcome
