At long last, I have sort of figured out why my keyboard sometimes stops creating type when I press the keys. It appears to be a Firefox/Flash problem. Maybe it’s Firefox. Maybe it’s that I can’t use the new version of Flash without running my browser in Rosetta mode, and so don’t have the newest version of Flash in Firefox. Whatever it is, it happens after I have been playing Flash games in Firefox and then think I’d like to type something. Every single time … and the keyboard works fine in other programs. It’s just typing in Firefox that ceases to function. It doesn’t happen at all when I use Safari, which I do have running in Rosetta and with the latest version of Flash.

Not that I am any closer to knowing why it’s happening, but at least it isn’t an actual problem with my Mac. This isn’t going to make me use Safari as my default browser. I love Firefox entirely too much. It is worth it to me to just close the browser and restart it after my keyboard freaks out rather than use any other browser at all.

Yup, I love Firefox that much.

I am posting this with Safari though, and I see now why I decided to never use this browser … the buttons on my Wordpress post page are all missing. Ugh.
