This is probably a duplicate of bug 571537: can you check and see whether the behavior changes if you flip the dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.flash player.plugin to "false"? (I see this on Leopard where we don't do OOPP at all).

flipping dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.flash player.plugin does not help - still cant input text. However, the URL in bug 571537 also does not work under the same conditions - so the two could still be related.
