Hello

How can i allow typing in all form-fields?

The issue is, my cursor is stuck in the password box of a form. I cannot type in the username field.

I can not tab to the username field either. When i tab, my cursor remains in the password box. I cannot tab to links, either.

I can highlight text in the username field with my mouse, but still cannot type there-- my cursor remains in the password box.

This issue does not occur if i open the same page in standalone firefox, nor does it occur with other browsers.

I'm using the firefox activex control mentioned in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1133491

But the fix should be the same as if this was standalone firefox. This activex control is just a wrapper for installed Firefox, and i have Firefox version 48.0, on Windows Server 2008 sp2.

This activex control has it's own profile folder, so we can adjust it's settings with user.js (same as the solution for the thread linked above). i expect the solution to this issue will also involve user.js.

this did not help: http://ccm.net/faq/870-firefox-tab-and-form

user_pref("accessibility.tabfocus", 2);

thx!

Update: making progress. The following fix enables me to select all text fields with mouse, and type in them.

In the microsoft-forms universe, the mozilla control needed to get 'focus' applied to it, in VBA code:

mozillaBrowser.SetFocus

This is not normally needed with ActiveX controls, but sometimes 3rd party controls need a little extra help.
