Also happens on linux: mozilla:

I also see this on Linux - Moz1.2alpha, 2002091016.

In fact, it gets worse. I opened that site in a tab; when I closed the tab,
Mozilla crashed. Talkback IDs:
TB10830744Y
TB10830668Z

When I clicked a text field, no caret appeared; when I tried to type anything, I
got beeps and status bar messages about Type Ahead Find.

Reporter: please change Platform & OS to All/All. I don't think this should be
'Form Submission' either, but I'm not sure what it should be.

if(document.layers){
       window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
       window.onmousedown = function(e){if(e.target==document){return false;}};
             
}
else {
    document.onmousedown = function(){return false;}
}

onmousedown is disabled so the click never gets to the input and therefore it
does not get focus. You can still tab to the field and enter data.

This is evangelism.

Uk site, moving to Europe: West - possible dupe of bug 154690 which is to do
with general javascript problems.
