This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME http://www.mozilla.com http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+mode

IE and Opera do put pointer at start of field. Safari and Chrome highlight the text in the field. Might make sense if FF did one or the other...

I really wonders why we should put the cursor at the beginning of the input field? Can't you use the selection API if you want the cursor to be at a specific position? Like setSelectionRange(0,0); You can try this: data:text/html,<body onload="var i=document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0]; i.focus(); i.setSelectionRange(0,0);"><input value="foo">

This is WONTFIX, I think. If you need specific positioning, you should use setSelectionRange or a similar API.
