I would like to be able to type over existing text on a web page. This can be done by hitting the "insert" key in several applications; however, it does not work in Firefox.

I'm running Firefox 31.0 and Windows 7.

Unfortunately that is not possible in Firefox. The insert key is not supported (i.e. Firefox is always in insert mode), so you will have to delete the old text and type the new text.
