Cursor does not appear on Facebook page load. Spacebar shifts page down.
Cursor does not appear anywhere on Facebook page load. It used to land in the first text box, and as I was used to this I would open an FB page and start typing. Nothing was entered into the text box, and when I hit Spacebar it shifts the page down.
Couple of things: It acts this way both in normal and in "safe mode".
It acts correctly on Google - it is my home page and when I open it the cursor is always in the search box. It also acts correctly on YouTube.
The cursor DOES NOT appear in the URL bar (thankfully)
The cursor DOES NOT appear in any text boxes on any other pages I open >> The Weather Channel, TED.com, Amazon.com
The Spacebar scrolls the screen down one frame at a time.
It has the same behavior with the "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages
I am using FF 18.0.1 on Windows XP
I have tried a lot of the weird tips and tricks suggested on this support forum, but none of them address specifically this issue.
Thanks in advance.

If a search bar on a web page gets focus then this is done via a JavaScript that runs on the page.
Facebook may have changed the code if this is no longer happening and Safe mode doesn't fix it.
Can you post a link to the page where you see this happening?
I can post that link - but it is to MY Facebook page.
Try this one - another page on FB - the cursor doesn't appear anywhere on the page.

BTW - I get the same results on my FB page and the others even in IE - so, it could be something external, but....it was working fine until FF 18 update.
If I'm not logged on then the cursor is in the login form at the top.
Once logged in the main body has focus and not a specific element, so you have to click in an input filed to set focus to it.
If it worked before then they have changed the code of that page recently and it is just a coincidence that it happened around the time that Firefox updated.
