PC Help Please?

MacBook Air - Firefox 45.0 - Genuine Apple Wireless Mouse.

When in Firefox (like I am now) and typing - often, not always, if I touch the mouse ! it will quit the page and I lose all my typing. Gone, lost , binned.

If I use the arrows to go forwards or back a page. It is gone.

This drives me potty. I now have to type out, using email then copy into the browser to avoid losing everything.

It never does it in email (Office - Outlook) only when in a browser.

Any clues?

Sounds like your pressing the keyboard shortcut for 'back'. Check in the preferences for Firefox to see what the default is and change it.

So you know where this setting is located? I can't see it in Firefox preferences?

Bruce, you've made the same mistake as Druk and opted for an apple product. Apple stuff is for pussies, journalists and arty farty folk, you need to man-up and buy an android based device.

Are there Android latops and PCs?

Haha, well indeed, my comment was merely banter and evidently completely inaccurate!

Laptops, yes, quite a few in fact.

The prize goes to our very own SP!KE. Since doing as he suggested the problem has not returned. I can now view all of my Bieber Video's without fear of interruption.

Arty-farty? Now there's a thought.
