Hi, I'll admit that Firefox isn't good for everything. For example I find that it works with my blogging software (WordPress) but that IE is easier to use for editing my blog. I haven't had a problem with form fields in Firefox but have noticed that it tends to crash more than IE. Still, I like the speed and more efficient use of memory enough to use it most of the time.
