[Bug 583122] Re: firefox occasionally highlights contents of form fields while typing thereby overwriting previously entered keystrokes

[rockfx01]

I have been seeing this bug on and off for at least several months, if
not a year.  It is very intermittent, but when it does happen it is
painfully annoying especially because I usually must restart FF
completely to resolve the issue.

I have seen this defect on multiple different versions of Ubuntu (9.04,
10.04, 10.10) with different versions of Firefox (but probably all 3.0+)
as well as on Windows Vista, all with various add-ons installed.

As other users said above, this appears to be a Firefox autofill
problem.  This is such an annoying defect it makes me seriously consider
switching from FF to Chrome permanently (not to mention Chrome is FAR
more stable using Flash than Firefox in Ubuntu).
