User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_5) AppleWebKit/534.24 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/11.0.696.68 Safari/534.24
Build Identifier: Firefox 4.0.1

After a fair amount of clicking and fiddling, it always starts working again.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the url
2. Press any key

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
A character should be inserted or the cursor should move (in case of arrow keys)

This happens very sporadically. I have no idea what the exact steps are to reproduce it consistently.
This has been happening to me for years, on both Linux and Mac OS (probably happens in Windows too)
Can you please provide the url.
Thx
As far as I can tell the URL is not related. Can't remember which one
I was on the last time, but it's happened on a lot, like
http://www.google.com for example.

Also, could you see if the issue occurs if using Firefox in safe mode:

How about with a new, empty testing profile? (Don't install any addons into it)

Reporter have you followed the steps from comment4?
The issue is still reproducible?
