Playing Scrabble on Facebook using Firefox doesn't work

I have Windows 7 on a laptop. I just installed Firefox yesterday. Chrome got a bug and I could not get rid of so I decided to try Firefox again. I love the way it looks and works. But, when I sign in to Facebook and play Scrabble, I can only place one letter on the board by typing on the keyboard. Once it places one letter by typing, it will not let me use typing to place any more letters. I have to use the mouse to drag the letters on the board after the first letter. Chrome allowed continuous typing to place all the letters. Any ideas?
