User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 After the 3.6 update when I am typing in forms in the websites, ie: boxes like these to fill out the error, i am finding that on first try the form does not send and clears the data. Fredmiranda.com is one of them using the private messages, modelmayhem another. Very frustrating. If I hit 'back' the entered data usually reappears and hitting send results in success. Though sometimes hitting 'back' does not pull up the entered text. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter text into forms 2. site does not read data 3. hit 'back' and resend if data pops back up Actual Results: infrequent results Expected Results: no set reason when it kicks back

**addition** error occurred when filling out this last comment. typed in text you see above...clicked commit and got a message saying "did not select which bug to comment on" or similar
Can you provide the exact text of the error message you are getting, or attach a screenshot? Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles?s=profile
Cannot send a screenshot as each page comes up differently. Basically the issue is after filling out a form and hitting send the websites kick back saying all the fields are empty. Then I hit back...reenter the data and hit submit and it works. Very time consuming and irritating.
Have you tried safe mode and a new profile? Does the issue occur on all forms, or do some forms work? If only some, can you provide an example URL?
Why would I want to run in safe mode and start a new profile? Isnt a browser supposed to work in a normal running environment? Especially with all the choices currently. As of late the error has been happening every time. Every time I hit commit/submit/send the next screen says that nothing was entered in the box...then I hit back...the text is (usually) still there and I hit send again and it works.
Trying it in safe mode helps to determine if the issue is caused by an extension. If the issue still occurs in safe mode, trying a new profile eliminates the issue being caused by a profile problem.
Ok...so got around to trying safe mode. So far I have had some success but when posting to some forms it kicks me out to the wrong area w/o submitting the data entered. Very very strange. Have yet to get a message saying that the form was empty though. Thoughts?
Are you still experiencing this issue? Have you tried using a new profile? Can you provide a URL where this issue occurs?
Hey there Tim. It seems the most recent update has fixed the issue. I am getting hanging issues...or stuttering is more like it when I have the browser open for a while. This does not seem to happen with the other ones I tried. Glad the major issue was fixed. Aaron
Glad you are no longer experiencing the issue.
