I'm currently trying to fix the following bug on Firefox 49.0.2, which is about the input text fields written in Flex.

Every time I reload the page by pressing F5 or log out and login back again, all the input fields require the user to wait a couple of minutes before the cursor becomes available for typing.

Also, if I try to reload the web page with the bug, try to open a new tab just to shift the focus and go back to the initial page again, the cursor is available for typing as normal.

I've tested that in Chrome, IE and Edge and it works as expected. This bug is reproduced only in the three latest versions of Firefox (49, 50 and 51). I'm using the latest version of Flash debugger, which is 23.0.0.185.

Any help with this would be appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

My OS is Windows 10 VM set up in a MAC machine, so this is the reason why it shows Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.71 Safari/537.36 as User Agent.

I've actually tried all these already, but any of those fixed the issue.

Thanks

I think you meant; 'None have fixed the issue,' yes?

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?

Yes, I meant that none of these fixed the issue. I've just tried the suggestions above, but I'm still having the issue.

It looks to me that is something with the focus on the page. As long as I shift the focus to somewhere else and then go back to the input fields again, I'm able to type anyhing as normal.

Thanks
