irritating firefox problem

[AndrewJ]

I have since uninstalled Firefox, and am back to IE6 it was driving me nuts, I installed it from a full format onto XP Pro sp2, and downloaded it direct from www.mozilla.com

It baffled me so I got rid of it.

FF is utter *****e, why not try somthing like msn explorer? If a program causes heart ache, it is very bad programming, I mean it's only a browser after all.

Errrm no, Firefox is well coded and likely this could be down to my hardware as I do run a Logitech G5 mouse, and this could be causing the problem.

As you said it is only a browser after all so why slate it like that

But when I goto post on this forum or others I am a member off and click in the box where I am typing this post now, or in quick reply, the select cursor which blinks for the text will not select. I have to click on a smiley and then delete it to get access to the text box.

I have cleared cookies and tried a few settings out but got nothing for this.

While I have a method around it, this is very irritating so does anyone have solution please?

My install of Firefox 1.5 on my machine at work does the same, I click in the reply box and no cursor appears, but as soon as I type the cursor will appear. I don't click on a smiley first, just type and the cursor appears!

My home PC does not have the same problem, so I'm not sure what to say, could be a graphics driver problem?
