Hey guys. I’m unable to edit the code in the Firefox browser. Both global editor (that shows whole page code) and element’s code editor are affected by this bug. I can edit the code 1 or 2 times, but then when I want to edit the code, the cursor jumps to random places and sometimes it’s even editing other elements. To reproduce it, just try editing element’s or global code a few times in Firefox. Other browsers work fine. ---

Can you tell us more about your system (type and version) and Firefox version? ---

Windows 11 22H2. The latest version of Firefox Developer. It was happening on older versions of Windows and Firefox too, though. ---

@Adryan I’m currently testing / editing basic code on macOS using the Pinegrow WordPress plugin code editor from the very last Firefox version and I face no issue. Firefox does not use the Chromium engine like most of the other grade A browsers, we are going to investigate with Windows 11. In the mean time, please, contact the support so we can follow the case more efficiently and with your help, try to find the origin and … a solution 🙂 ---

I moved back to Firefox again and still have the same issue ☹ Here’s a link to a video I sent to the support months ago - [https://www.berrycast.com/conversations/b08ce00a-73b1-592b-8722-4578c35c148b](https://www.berrycast.com/conversations/b08ce00a-73b1-592b-8722-4578c35c148b) ---

Use the latest version of Firefox and clear the browser cache and cookies. ---

Ok, I’m going crazy. There’s no way that I’m the only one having this issue. Since my previous post I switched to MacOS and the issue remains. The Code Editor simply breaks. The characters I type appear in a random place and not the one I actually want them. I disabled ALL of my extensions and it’s still the same. ---

@Adryan While most features should work fine with Firefox, we’re aware that in some VERY rare cases, inexplicable issues might occur. Unfortunately, we can’t pinpoint these precisely because we’re unable to reproduce them on our end. Also,for the optimal experience with our [Pinegrow WordPress Plugin](https://pinegrow.com/wordpress) and [Pinegrow Online](https://pinegrow.online/), we recommend using Chrome or Chromium-based browsers (like [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/), [Arc](https://arc.net/), [Microsoft Edge](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/), [Brave](https://brave.com/), [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/) or [Opera](https://www.opera.com/)). This recommendation applies across all operating systems (Windows, macOS, and Linux) and stems from our core technology foundation: - Technical Foundation: Pinegrow Desktop, our original application, is developed using [NWJS](https://nwjs.io/), which is built on Chromium technology. While each Pinegrow product serves its own specific market and purpose, they all share this same technical foundation. - Natural Compatibility: Given this technological basis, Chromium-based browsers provide the most reliable environment for our tools. ### For the best results, we recommend: 1. Using any modern Chromium-based browser ( [Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/), [Arc](https://arc.net/), [Microsoft Edge](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/), [Brave](https://brave.com/), [Chromium](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/) or [Opera](https://www.opera.com/)) 2. Keeping your browser updated 3. Ensuring JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings **This approach ensures:** - Reliable functionality - Consistent technical support - Stable editing experience ---

That’s what I had to do. That one Pinegrow bug is preventing me from switching to Firefox. I guess it says a lot about how important Pinegrow is for me. And I’m sorry if my posts sound like “bitching”, but I’m just annoyed that such a weird bug is happening. Keep up the great work!
