Since you eliminated NoScript, check AdBlockPlus and see if you have any domain with "techsurvivor.net" listed. I believe the forums are using PHP to communicate back and forth with your browser and the server. There may be a particular address that is accessed when editing. dntknw.gif But it still sounds more like a weird System problem, except that FF is the only thing affected. The app should be simply calling the System text-editing routines in that text box.
    1. Does this behavior occur on any other site that uses a text box input area? Here's a page that will let you enter lots of text and then you can pretend to edit it and see if it behaves the same way it does at TS. Don't worry about the site's topic or even the use of the page, it's just one I found easily with a large textbox. <"Play" in this text box, please.>
    2. Does it occur in the TS preference area that allows entry of a multi-line 'signature?'

JIm, There are no rules in my AdBlock Plus.

I will look for opporunities to check out other sites text boxes.

I even went a step further and fired up my backup disk and copied the 'firefox' folder back in.

Then de-activated NoScript 1.10.

Same quirky behavior on TS.

So, now I'm back to my Safari bookmarks.

I tried replacing the 'bookmarks' file— still got the Safari bookmarks.

Anyway, I better start packing for my Friday trip.

Back to this weirdness when I get back on August 1.

THX everybody.

I'm learning a lot.

Packing on Wednesday for a Friday trip?! That would take me almost 30 minutes! rofl.gif Of course, I spent most of my working life packing and unpacking every day... rolleyes.gif laughhard.gif

BTW, did you see the  two questions I posted <here>?

No matter, have a grand trip and visit with your kids! yes.gif But, be careful, I think Huron empties into Lake Weird! And it may pick up certain contaminants passing by Detroit!!! eek2.gif

Problem resolved with updating NoScript to V2.0

At least, I think that this was the problem that was fixed by updating to V2.

The TS editing problem was cured by going into 'My Controls' and:

My Controls > Board Settings > 'Type of Text Editor' > changed to Standard Editor from Rich Text Editor

Voila!!!

even tho note says RTE should work with firefox. It might have have been screwed up with V3.6.8 since that was about the time I updated ff.

Life is now good, once again. And, it doesn't hurt at all that I have a new lady friend! A very lovely Swiss Miss!
