Firefox is completely useless when it comes to filling in forms and comments in Facebook and Picasa

Does anyone else have the maddening experience of filling in a comment, not just in FB but also in Picasa or any other "modern" interactive webpage, in which your changes are not saved and the page must be reloaded several times, the comment reentered, reloaded, reentered up to three or four times, before the damn thing "sticks????" I am SICK of having to write everything in a text editor, copy it, paste it, reload and then repeat and repeat. This is why people OD on pills. Can't you software engineers take a couple of years OFF and leave us all alone to work and enjoy the technology as it is until you go around "improving" it again and... screw it up worse than it was before??? GO AWAY! Stop upgrading. Enough is enough. Now. How much do you want to bet that this comment wont stick? I have it copied just in case. Stupid.

Sounds like a problem with your installation or configuration.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:

I'll give these a whirl, but actually, Google Chrome does the same thing, and I am wondering if it is Mac OS X. Whatever... it just seems like since I began with computers in 1996 there have always been these types of issues, new technologies that are incompatible with God knows what, causing a person to spend hours troubleshooting or just bearing it trying not to throw the damn thing out the window. Which by the way, I have actually done.

Capitalism SUCKS if that is what is behind all this "creative" energy being pit one against the other in endless competition to "improve" which only ends up making everything conflict and... well, maybe Ted Kazinski wasn't all wrong.
