Going to Firefox Properties

Find a shortcut to Firefox and right click it. Goto properties and change the tab to compatibility. At the bottom there is Input settings for advanced text services . It should be on for this program properties. I believe this is the solution to the problem but I'm not certain if it really true.

I tryed it but it was already set to that.
In response to your other comment, are you calling me a liar? why would i lie about this? and it only happens 60% of the time.

Willy is only asking you logical questions. Not calling you a liar. Be patient and your questions will be answered. There very well may be a bug that was noted by John (mouserama) on another post. Go back up a couple of posts ago and check out setting defaulys. There I did it! Had a hard time typing defaults. Not a bug here. Just my lousy typing. :
