Single click text box input not working.
It takes 2, 3, sometimes 4 times to click in an input text box to type. Restarted to safe mode didn't work. I tried in normal mode with all extensions and add-ons disabled or off. Changed theme to normal. Disabled hardware acceleration. Uninstalled/reinstalled FF. None were successful. It works in Chrome and IE. I look at my keyboard to type cos I'm retarded. So when I click once and the page animates like it wants to select but it doesn't, I usually have typed an invisible paragraph before I realize I have been duped. It is not a huge thing, just annoying.

Is this with many websites, some, a few?

If there is still a problem, 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). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
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.
How to disable Hardware Acceleration {web link}
I have already tried all that but the issue remains. It is only one site but it is the one i use the most. The text box is animated if that makes sense. it will appear small until you got o click it and then it expands.

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

The site in question is JIRA, the ticketing site. It accesses information in house. I can't provide a link. Safe mode had the same results. I have attached a screenshot of the text box.
Contact support for that site and ask questions. Please keep us posted.
In all their wisdom, they recommended using the browser that works. Chrome/IE.
