Why can't I type in text fields without first hitting the Tab Key?

I have Version 32.0.1700.77 running on a Mac. This problem started with Firefox a little while back and no amount of updates or uninstalling/reinstalling has fixed it. And therefore I have switched to Chrome.

When using Firefox, any text field, including the address bar, will not allow me to type into it. I will get a BONK sound. Once I hit the Tab Key, I can begin typing. But if I stop typing and click any other area, then come back to the text field, I must again hit the Tab Key. Or if I want to edit the text field, I can highlight a word, but for it to delete, I have to hit the tab Key then hit Delete.

Why is it doing this?
