>Did you notice that the problem worked fine in other Linux browsers but
not in Firefox?

comment#3 says that just changing the user Agent makes it work.
In case that you don't know what the UA is i will post my current UA:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0 

It's just a name that every browser sends to the webserver. If the
behavior of the page changes with a UA change this is a 100% bug in the
page that is detecting the user Agent string and does something
different depending on the UA string. That means that you can use your
"other browser" and change the User Agent of this browser and it should
also fail to work.

>The current web standards have flaws which allow for interpretation
Such flaws will be discussed in the standard working groups if such a flaw is 
found. The standard will be changed based on that discussion.
You can't simple change the browser to make it work because other pages will 
break with this change.

>Isn't it also important to make a browser compatible to the de facto standards 
>as interpreted by most other browsers?
No, that would bring as back to the IE6 days with a complete broken web.

>Your attitude is what drew me away from Firefox.
I'm just a user like you but I try to tell people the truth.
It seems that most people want to hear the usual marketing speak, full of lies 
:-(

Title:
  No text cursor for login on CitiCard website

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Invalid
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  The cursor disappears on the first login line of the login form of the
  CitiCard website after a second or two and is unrecoverable.  While it
  is present, it is inactive.  This is not a problem with Google Chrome,
  nor with any other website using Firefox in my experience.  It is
  annoying to have to use two web browsers in order to get my work done
  and so would appreciate your remedying this issue.
