Puzzling interaction

Here is a question about Firefox and Windows. I need to be able to dictate because my typing is very poor because of Parkinson's disease. If I try to dictate into Roam Research using Firefox in combination with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Firefox behaves oddly. If I dictated a line and hit return sometimes the line disappears, or sometimes the return makes it move down and then the crusir is positioned above the line just dictated, or sometimes, if the dictatiion exceeds the line lenght, the dictation is captured but you can't see it, although you can copy and paste it.Is there some problem with interaction of Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Firefox or of either of them with the RR notetaking app? This does not happen with Chrome. I prefer to be able to work in Firefox but it does not look possible . Is there anything you can do? Or advise me to do? I have installed the Dragon NaturallySpeaking professional plug-in extension for Firefox; might that be part of the problem? I can use Dragon dictation box and then copy and paste into Firefox, but that is not necessary in chrome. David Kolb
