Try to disable Adblock Plus on mail.google.com, worked for me. (Click the ABP stop sign on the bottom of your page, select "disable on mail.google.com").
EDIT: there's a cleaner solution.. It seems it's a list issue, rather than an ABP issue.. click the ABP icon, go to preferences, click on filters in the menu, and click "update all subscriptions". Once I did that and restarted Firefox, I could reactivate ABP on the gmail page and chat still worked.
Hope this helps! :)

Thanks Sorvin Worked like a charm :)
Although the solutions enables sending messages, moving via the arrow cursors, within the written text [for example;correcting a typo in a previously written sentence] does not work.
