Have windows 7 installed with Firefox 3.6.12 - whenever bring up page with multiple field entries - as I type it jumps all around the page into other text areas or around inside the same text area and even seems to activate some navigation and submission options when I do not want it to.

I started having the cursor jumping problem a few weeks ago - when I try to type in the search box of google or bing (and sometimes typing in gmail) the cursor immediately jumps to ... Well I don't know where it goes but firefox is unusable for searching and therefore unusable at all. I've had to switch to chrome and I'll try ie 9 soon.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I am also having this problem as well. When i try to click on the web search box (to type in a web address), also anything i click on or try to type is jumps around all by it's self.(It's the mouse cursor) When i even point or try to click it goes all over the place i get dizzy watching it dance all over the place! I have never had this problem before EVER! I though something was wrong with my computer and i decided to google it and see if anyone else is having any trouble with this, and i found that several people are. I thought maybe it was because i haven't updated to a newer version, so i did that and it didn't correct te problem at all! any helpful suggestion will be greatly appreciated! I also don't see how i will correct the problem if it is jumping all over the place no matter what i do. Also, I do not have any other things open or running on my computer to cause any problems.
