No typing when Browser left open for a period of time UNTIL cache is cleared, then still glitchy.

You can't type anywhere in Firefox unless you empty the cache. I usually have to restart Firefox to get it to work more stable. But If I leave it open for a period of time it goes bad. This is new to 2.0

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch Firefox
2. Leave open for a few hours
3. Try typing in a field or Url

Actual Results:  
You get no text in the desired fields.

Expected Results:  
Typed text where I am typing.

I have no added plugins or themes. This is new to 2.0
Same here.... Both in Firefox 2.0.0.1 and also in an embedded ActiveX control that I think is based on 1.7.2.  Multiple machines, all Win32.

On some pages it's fine, but on the one that's not, it's 100% reproduceable.

Example page (this doesn't work):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

<head>
	<title>test input</title>
</head>

<body>
	<input class="TESTINPUT TESTINPUTTEXT_SHORT" type="text" name="test" id="test">
</body>
</html>
do you still see this using newest version? 
If you do not, please close the bug with resolution set to WORKFORME (or INVALID if you determined the fault was not in firefox)
