This has been frustrating me a lot lately. It seems to be a known problem with Firefox 0.8 on amd64 (not specific to FreeBSD): http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=146823&highlight=firefox+amd64 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244577 (???) The Gentoo forum posts suggest that turning off "Saved Form Information" and "Saved Passwords" (in Privacy options) and "Use Find As You Type" (in Advanced / Accessibility options) may help, but it didn't improve anything for me. I'm going to try plain Mozilla instead. Tim
