Here is what I have tried...

1. Disabled all add-ons 2. F9+Windows Key 3. Help->Troubleshooting Information->Reset Firefox 4. Fresh Reinstall of Firefox 5. Malware/Virus scan

Nothing seems to work. I can type into IE or any other application except FireFox

Hello Sirkad,

See if you have the same behavior when you boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) , open firefox and if you can type.


thank you

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences<Enter> in the address bar

Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
