That's a very old bug, and there have been many firefox releases since
then. Can anyone who originally reported the bug or commented on it

Is it Firefox or operating system bug? No problems in Chrome/Chromium/Opera, no
problem found in Ubuntu 16.04 and LUbuntu 18.04. Nevertheless, the same problem
occurs in LibreOffice (search field) and GIMP 2.10 (some settings) on
Ubuntu/Kubuntu 18.04 using GNOME and Unity (installed manually).

Here's what I found:
The problem seems to be interference / competition between firefox's
auto-complete (or it could be google's autocomplete, I'm not sure which
service does this) and the firefox spell-checker. When I turn off
spell-checking in the subject box when the problem occurs, the auto-
I agree with you Kevin I also observed this happens when you use Tab to

I'm affected by this bug as well. It does NOT appear to happen unless my

have experienced the bug without tabbing between fields.

I just noticed that the server that is contacted is actually a

I have been seeing this bug on and off for at least several months, if
not a year. It is very intermittent, but when it does happen it is
painfully annoying especially because I usually must restart FF

it's probably something to do with the autocomplete, as that function
'disappears' while you're having the issue. Also, opening a new window
will fix it (in the new window).
VERY ANNOYING, and how in the world can this bug be 'marked for
expiration' when so many people are experiencing it?
This problem is occuring to many people. Just look at the duplicates and

The bug appears to be related to the suggestion feature and possibly the
spelling-correction-feature. When you type something in a field,
suggestions come up (based on what you have previously typed in the same
or similar fields). When the described bug appears, the auto-suggestions
stop working.

Update to my bug report above. Seems to occur after returning from
screensaver or a suspend. I've found that hitting Alt-Tab, Alt-Tab (as
opposed to Alt-Tab-Tab) solves the problem until the next
screensaver/suspend event.
Perhaps this is related to the Firefox bug posted here:
