1155157 - Keyboard stops responding in Firefox after a while of use since upgrade to 37.0.1

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Carl]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150402191859

Steps to reproduce:

It appears to be random. I have not been able to find a pattern yet.


Actual results:

Keyboard stops responding in Firefox. I can't use text boxes in web pages, I can't enter any data into the address bar, I can't use the keyboard to change tabs or perform any other actions within Firefox. The mouse works fine throughout. The problem occurs after half hour or so of running Firefox but I haven't been able to determine what could be triggering it.

The keyboard is fine with rest of computer, the problem is only in Firefox 37.0.1 on my OSX Mavericks OS. I had no problems prior to upgrading to 37.0.1.


Expected results:

The keyboard should have responded in Firefox when I pressed the keys.

I think this component is more appropriate fro this issue.
Carl, please retest this on the latest version Firefox 43, and see if you can still reproduce the issue.
