O.P. Floating contacts causes undesirable interaction with Firefox
When floating contacts are activated, you cannot type in form elements in the Firefox browser without activating the "Find As You Type" feature. This makes it virtually impossible to fill in forms.

Do you have any extensions installed for Fire Fox?

Well, It only happens if the "begin finding when you start typing" option is activated, AFAICT. My version is 1.0.4.

yes, this is true! I had the same problem! But I moved to Mozilla and this time the problem doesn't happen anymore...

Another thing: you sure you've selected the form element i.e. the insertion point is actually in the textbox?

definitely: I can type the first characters, but subsequent ones are typed as if there wasn't any form element selected (e.g. in the "find as you type" function)

Is it happening on a few pages, or any page with form elements?

Well, it occured on a phpBB forum, so I can safely guess that any forums controlled by the phpBB script would be affected. I haven't extensively tested for the bug.

No you can't, since that particular forum might be using a mod or something that other forums don't use
