Trouble editing text fields since upgrading to FF 3.5+
Ever since I upgraded to Firefox 3.5, I've had trouble editing text fields, both in some websites and in FF itself. I first noticed this when I went to edit the name of a website I was bookmarking. Clicking in the blocked-out title should (and used to) clear the block and position the cursor, but now the only way to edit it is to use the keyboard keys (End, Home, arrow, etc.).
Now I'm also finding a similar problem in the Facebook status update field, where it doesn't always respond to clicking or double-clicking my mouse to highlight a word or reposition the cursor.
I just upgraded to the latest 3.6 and was hoping this would be fixed, but it's the same or worse. Is anyone else having this problem?

- "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
- "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
- Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
- Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thanks very much cor-el. It turns out to be the theme that's the problem. I've posted a review of the theme and reported the problem. Hopefully the problem can be fixed soon. Many thanks for your help. :-)
I'm clicking that your advice solved the problem, inasmuch as it allowed me to diagnose it.

Hi!
I am having the identical problem EXCEPT none of these suggestions work and I AM using the default Firefox theme. I recently upgraded to 3.6 and had no problem prior to this.
PLEASE help—anyone!
You can try to check the pref dom.storage.enabled on the about:config page and make sure that the pref is set to true.
