Letters get jumbled when I type
For the last month, whenever I try to type in Firefox, especially in Facebook or Twitter, but really anywhere in Firefox, the letters are all jumbled together, like this:
Thisis ho w my typing comesou ti n firefox wheni'm trying tot ype in Twitter, or FAcebooke tc.
Also, a lot of times in Facebook, the page jumps around weirdly when I'm trying to read it, and It takes a long time before I can scroll back to where I was (it kind of freezes up briefly). Not sure if I have seen this on other pages or not.
I have been using Chrome instead, and I don't like it as much as Firefox (a lot of the pages just plain don't load in Chrome). I had a different problem in Firefox back in the Fall (pages freezing up) but after trying other browsers, none of which I liked, I came back to Firefox and it has been working fine up until now. Help!

No, like I said, it's when I TYPE in the website. It's not the web page itself so it has nothing to do with the design or the HTML. It's when I type in a field on a website, such as posting a status on Twitter or Facebook, or searching in IMDB, things like that. When I type, there is a lag and the browser can't seem to catch up with my typing so it jumbles the letters together as in the above example. I don't know how else to explain it. It's something Firefox is doing that is making my typing not work right.
Please create a screenshot of the problem you're seeing by following the guide mentioned at How do I create a screenshot of my problem?.
Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
I don't really see how a screencap will help, any more than the example above that I already gave you, but you can see it here http://tvmegasite.net/images/temp/screencap.jpg
Of course I can't give you a screencap of the other problems of it jumping around on me or freezing up....just this jumbling text problem.
It helped a little bit...not 100%, though. It is still freezing up a bit as I type and jumbling the words together at times. Better but not...best. :)

Did you ever find a solution? I have been having the same problem and have trained myself to type one letter and wait two seconds and type another, and it's maddening since I am a fast typist. Firefox address bar is the worst if I type faster and I get double and triple letters and sometimes the caps goes on by itself and I have to toggle that a couple times to try and get it to go off and maybe tap on the shift key to get things working again. Is there a key logger or virus going around? I think it had something to do the Mozilla upgrade. Java is disabled in add-ons, so it's not that.
Yes, I did. It was from this other program I run that they upgraded, Webroot SecureAnywhere. First I unintstalled and reinstalled the program, but I still had problems with it interfering with my Keyboard Express macro program so their tech support called me and went on my computer remotely. She figured out that she had to open the SecureAnywhere program and click on the Identity & Privacy tab, then click on View/Edit Protected Applications. Make sure Firefox is listed there as "allow" and not "block". You have to restart Firefox, too (maybe twice). Unfortunately it seems that every time I restart my computer, I have to do it all again. And the same with any browser.
If you don't have Webroot, it could be some other program. I would focus on any security antivirus etc. programs you have...
