Firefox 1.5.0.3 has problems

extensions. Here are some problems that occur sometimes, but not all
the time:
- if I press the apostrophe key while in a text field, it sometimes
acts like I pressed CTRL-F.
- sometimes the Home and End keys do not move the cursor in a text
field
- sometimes the arrow keys do not move the cursor in a text field
- sometimes the Copy and Paste functions (using either the keyboard or
the mouse) do not work
But whenever I encounter any of the above problems, I can usually get
them to go away by minimizing the Firefox window and then restoring it.
But obviously it would be best if these bugs were fixed.

Hi, I looked at the accessibility box, and both of the options are
unchecked.
And if this were a settings issue, then I would experience the behavior
all the time, not some of the time. So they are bugs.

If they *were* bugs we would all be experiencing it ...we aren't ..I am
not and your post is the first one ...hardly what I would call a "bug"!
You most likely have a conflict that is system specific to your computer
...what that is, is very hard to determine but don't automatically leap
to the "bug conclusion".

I think it's a bit hasty to classify the behavior you've seen as bugs.
As mentioned in another post in this thread, not everyone is seeing the
behavior that you are - and there are millions of FF users out there.
You say that you aren't using any extensions - but you didn't say
whether or not you've installed another theme. If you're not using the
default theme, have you tried switching to the default theme to see if
you can duplicate the problem?
While I'm suggesting things to try:
-Have you tried starting FF in safe mode to see if you can duplicate the
problem?
-Have you tried creating a new (clean) profile (no extensions, no
themes) to see if you can duplicate the problem?

/Or/ it could very well be that you don't have the cursor focused on the
screen, for whatever reason - next time it doesn't work like you think
it should, simply move the pointer to the screen in question and click
it to focus it there - then see if the keys work...

I have never used anything besides the default theme. Safe mode is
something that I can try.
I did some searches on another firefox forum, and it seems like people
are experiencing many, if not all, of the bugs I'm experiencing, for
example:

I have to ask (am I'm not asking in jest): did you read very far into
the posts at the URL you posted? The link above takes you to posts from
October 10, 2005 - and they're in regards to problems reported by users
running 1.0.4 and 1.0.7.
However, if you skip towards the end of that thread (page #14), you'll
find that there are additional posts on October 26, 2005 by "LeRoi" and
one on May 2, 2006 by "dickvl" that point to third party programs that
cause the problems you've experienced. Specifically, you should read
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=409816 and
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=330825
My favorite quote is from "Littlemutt" (author of
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=409816) who says: "I was
able to ID 32 unique users with the copy/paste issue, and have a list if
anyone wants to see. The 'guest' posts were not counted as its
impossible to ID who they are, or are the one in the same. Therefore,
32 unique users with the problem, out of 40 million plus
updates/downloads combined, I'd have to say that there is no problem
with the build."

random. I'll be typing along, and suddenly any time I touch the
apostrophe key while Firefox is the focused window, it goes to the
Search box whether I want it to or not, whether I'm in a textbox or
not. Furthermore, the arrow keys, page up, page down, home, and end
keys no longer navigate the page.
I don't know why it doesn't or how to make it stop, other than to
restart the browser and start over.
Whether you call it a bug or not is up to you, but it is a nuisance
that I would rather not deal with.

Oh ok good, I thought it was happening only to me.

of being all defensive about the definition of this problem, does
anyone have a solution?
