User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/536.26.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.1 Safari/536.26.14 Steps to reproduce: I am pasting the most basic version of my HTML to demonstrate the issue: <body> <form> <input type="text" name="myInputBox" id="myInputBoxID"/> </form> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.michaelbechara.com/interiordesign.swf" style="margin: 0;width:100%;height:100%;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;z-index:-1"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.michaelbechara.com/interiordesign.swf" /> </object> </body> Here's the same thing in jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BKNFG/ Basically, I have a text input and a flash content with some styling applied. While using this particular combination of CSS style on my flash content (100% width and height along with absolute positioning), I am facing a weird issue on the input box. This behaviour happens only in Firefox (I am using version 16.0.2). To reproduce the issue: - Place the focus/cursor in the input box and type a few characters without taking the focus out of the box, again click inside the text-input box - Try entering further text I have tried using different other ways to embed the flash content including swfobject and variants of embed code. Actual results: I am no longer able to type in any more text unless I move the focus out to something else and the focus back into the text input control. Expected results: I should be able to type in more without moving the focus out to something else and the focus back into the text input control.

Reproducible on the 11/25 Nightly, on Mac OS X 10.8. jsplashindia, are you sure there's no bug in your code? When I open your page on Windows, it only shows the Flash content on Firefox Nightly, and it only shows the input field on Chrome.
