Hi, I use the Outlook web interface on firefox. I keep running into a strange bug. I'll start typing an e-mail message, and all of a sudden, my keystrokes are interpreted as commands instead of text. For instance, I'll type a word with an "n" in it, like "and", and somehow after I type the "a", the interface starts grabbing keystrokes away from the text field, so when I hit "n", it creates a new message, and the "d" ends up going into the text field of this new message. It's very frustrating, because I can't type more than a couple of sentences before the message and interface get screwed up. I've seen this misbehavior for a while, through several updates of firefox. No other web app behaves this way.

This has been happening for many months now and I can't wait for an update to fix it unless it's going to happen soon.

Should I uninstall Firefox and switch to another browser or is this something that's going to fix soon???!!!???

It's going to be a project to switch so once I do it I'm never coming back. I currently have firefox on 10 different computers I work on between my home and office. I can't live with these glitches anymore!!!!

Try Firefox in Safe Mode and see if you have the same issues.
