so i just started getting this problem tonight for the first time. Only in
Firefox. Instead of the cursor (for the URL) remaining at the end of your text to put the next letter you type at the end, the cursor automatically moves to the beginning of the text and pushes the letters out so that everything is backwards. So heres an example of what im talking about when i simple type out www.createblog.com it looks like this on the mozilla moc.golbetaerc.www so anyone know how i can fix this? also this is only for the typing in on the browser/url otherwise it types regularly on everything else (tested on facebook) |

It has something to do with Java.

That's happened to me twice; it was really strange. All you have to do is restart Firefox and things should go back to normal.

if its consistent just uninstall it and re install it.
And make sure you have the latest version. |

alright...now its normal.
I guess the solution exit out and re-open it? Though i turned mine off for the night and got back on this morning and just checked it now so its back to normal. I didnt have to re-install it thank goodness. |

Just curious: when it was typing backwards, if you were typing a URL did it go to the right site?
