Firefox Form Entry Problem?

I recently downloaded Firefox on a Windows XP system, and have found I can't enter passwords or forum messages - they all come up blank. It is kind of useless to me that way.

Has anybody heard of this problem, and have an incorrect setting or such that might be the culprit? I assume since a large number of people are using it, it is something wrong on my machine, and not a program problem.

I do not have any automatic form filling turned on.

Update:

I did a complete re-install including downloading a new copy of the install program - same problem. I also took the question over to the firefox support board, nobody has the answer there either.

The only thing I can figure is a firewall setting, but they seem to be the same for IE and firefox. And it is not sending the form contents back on submit - just a null string. Don't know if that helps any.

    Haven't seen that happen. Maybe reinstall the program.

    Is it all sites, or just some? I did read that Firefox has some form problems on certain sites. Have you ever tried Opera.
