Problems with entering text in facebook.com

[Shahar Or]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Dear interested parties,

Entering text in facebook.com (to share things) causes:
1. big processor usage
2. right clicking for spelling correction doesn't open the menu
3. crashes sometimes

I'm using an RTL translation of facebook.

apport doesn't "catch" Firefox crashes. Is this normal?

Many blessings.

i would think its either flash or an extension causing this. try to disable flash in tools->addons->plugins ... if that doesnt help disable all your extensions and let us know if your crashes go away. also see bug 358333

Dear Alexander,

This is no longer occuring. I'm not sure what changed. Perhaps a change in facebook...

Many blessings.
