I can not type in any text in a text box if I switched focus to it with TAB. For instance, when I am trying to log somewhere and I type in my username and then I swith focus to password input with TAB and try to type in my password I can not type anything because every big letter (typed with SHIFT pressed) deletes all previous letters.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.

Are you sure the focus was on the password field? Please check. Some user/password inputs have links as well.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
