Which keyboard are you using? Swiftkey 3? Which version of Firefox?

My phone has a slide out keyboard.  Not sure which keyboard is installed on screen.  I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro.  Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.4; en-us; SonyEricssonMK16a Build/4.1.B.0.587) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30

The user agent posted is the stock browser and not Firefox.

Can you try using Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org) and report back if things work for you?

Ok, so I'll uninstall Firefox and install Nightly??  I'm assuming there is a.Nightly app then.

Nightly does not work either.  The size of the readable font kept changing and  when I tried to log into https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810634 to post an update, again it did not input what I was typing.

Jim, do you have an Xperia Pro to take a look?

I don't, but text entry should work on it using Nightly (see Bug 809329, where the keyboard is confirmed working on the Xperia Pro except with some buggy behavior)

Isabel, can you check again using the newest Nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org)?

jchen, I think I have an Xperia Pro or Xperia Pro Mini.

Comment 9

[Isabel]

I upgraded my phone to an Xperia TL.  I tried Firefox and it all works fine except the screen is too cramped so i reverted to the phone's browser.  Thanks so much.  If I didn't like my old phone so much I'd let you guys borrow it for testing, but I can be persuaded if you really wanted to fix the bug.  :-)
