Firefox Problem in Fedora 10
November 29th, 2008I’ve noticed that I’m getting a strange problem with text boxes and textareas in Firefox. For some reason they are greyed out and exhibit a bad tearing issue when pages first load, when another window is dragged over them or they are scrolled in and out of the visible screen.
It didn’t look like this using the same version of Firefox on Fedora 9 so I’m wondering what has changed. I even downloaded the version from Mozilla but it looks exactly the same.
On a brighter note this is the first time I’ve been able to log into my webbank (that requires Java) without installing Sun Java. In the past the open Java that shipped with Fedora didn’t support secure sites but OpenJDK worked out of the box. Having said that it did crash Firefox 4 times in a row yesterday so maybe I’ll still be using Sun Java.
