slow text input
Hi I use a macro keyboard to input for example passwords (text strings and numbers), In earlier versions of Firefox it worked well. But now I only get a few of the characters. I have tried to restore Firefox to its default settings without any result. When using IE, Opera or Chrome it works very well. Best regards Henrik

Disabling graphics hardware acceleration did not fix it. BUT I found a workaround: changing the macro software from sending text strings to emulating keystrokes did fix it ! I can live with that solution, so many thanks for the replays.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
Make sure all of your software is up to date.
Safe mode gives the same problem. The macro keyboard is connected via usb and uses a running service to make the inputs.
Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

If the problem is still there, contact support for the mouse.

I tried your safe mode it didn’t change the problem. “support for the mouse” !? there is no mouse involved. Remember that IE, Opera or Chrome works fine. (so it is difficult to contact Microsoft) Are you using a standard set of questions ?
Hi !
Stab in the dark, but worth a try :
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:
- Click the menu button
and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the General panel.
- Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
