I use the FCKEditor and having a very strange problem. When I click on the FCKEditor's editing area, the keyboard gets disabled untill I click the mouse somewhere outside of the editing window. The problem only happen on Firefox (3.6.10) on Mac computer (Snowleopard 10.6.4). Doing exactly the same steps on PC works without any problem.

What I want to know: - Is it possible that the Firefox on Mac is different than the PC in handling mouse events? Or some other areas?

Sounds more that Firefox is treating that editor area as read-only.

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).

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
