I am having a weird problem with Mozilla Firefox Version 20. We just setup this user with an XP workstation that was being used by other user. The user was on Windows 7 PC prior to this. When the user is logged in the XP PC and tries to use Firefox it will not accept the enter key or mouse input to go to a website in the address bar, the search bar has the same problem. The user can go to other sites from shortcuts or history with no problem. If we logon with the domain administrator account Firefox works fine. So far I have tried running Firefox in safe mode and disabling all plugins and add-ons. That didn’t make a difference. User profiles are redirected to the Windows 2008 R2 server. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. My only thought it that the problem is somehow related to a profile issue. Anyone have any thoughts. Thanks

There appears to be a problem with Firefox 20 with UNC paths when using roaming profiles on network servers.

Maybe it is possible to map this network share to a drive letter instead and update the profiles.ini file accordingly.

This is currently investigated and tracked via this bug report.
