The virtual keyboard on my HP OMNI 10 tablet has begun popping up at every touch of Firefox. This makes it almost impossible to use. Expected/normal behaviour is that when you touch web pages or any app., the keyboard stays out of the way while you move around. When you touch inside a textbox, the keyboard should pop up so you can type. Touch outside the textbox and the keyboard drops down.
Now, ( since the start of May 2025 or so, I think), the keyboard pops up every time I touch the Firefox page, anywhere. This makes it almost impossible to use.
For example, on a Youtube video, I touch the video to start playing.... and the keyboard pops up, covering up the video! I have to touch the x to drop the keyboard down again.
When I want to rewind or move forward, I touch the video to get the controls to appear and...the keyboard pops up, covering the video.
I have to touch the x to drop the keyboard and by then the video controls have timed out and gone away again!
Right now, if I close the keyboard and touch this page outside the textbox, the keyboard pops up.
In Microsoft Edge the behaviour is normal and in an app., like Notepad, the keyboard only pops up if I touch inside Notepad.
By the way, I did all this typing once already but when you said you couldn't read my troubleshooting information automatically, I tried your manual steps, and that took me to another web page. When I came back to this page, all my typing was gone! Very annoying. please don't do that again.
