Firefox doesn't move the cursor when I type text into text boxes for certain characters in some webpages. I am seeing similar discrepancy in drop down menus too. See this image: http://imgur.com/xvqmjA6 Original Link: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/digital-media-keyboard

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Thanks! It worked magically. Is this a known issue ? Why could hardware acceleration create problems like these ?

You're welcome.

A lot (most) of such issues with displaying text are caused by problems with hardware acceleration in Firefox.
Not all display drivers are fully compatible with the current Firefox release.
