Odd FireFox issue :/

Hi,

Got a bit of a weird "form" problem on FF :/ (latest version)

Basically, if I go to google.com - type a query in, and then go "back" (in my browser), then change the query - and press search again - it doesn't do anything (its not hanging - it just simply does nothing)

Its not only a problem with google - it does it on *any* forms. Is this a known problem/ a setting thats been enabled, that I'm not aware of?

Not a biggie - as I'm getting my new PC tomorrow - so will put a new version on... its more of just an annoyance :)
TIA

LOL, this always happens :P

Found a solution:

Basically, it seems to "Real player" add-on screws things up. I uninstalled that, and now its fine <G>

Just in case anyone else is having the same problem :)

I wonder if this has anything to do with an occasional recent problem I've had... unable to access websites through entering URL in address bar until I close my connection and then reconnect.

Hi,

Mmm.. that sounds like a bit of an odd one :/

When I was reading up on my problem in this thread - it seems a lot of people just recommend doing a full uninstall of Firefox, and then re-installing. Have you tried that?

Cheers
