Editor in Moodle 1.9: Cursor doesn't appear (Firefox)

Is anybody still using 1.9?  Students attempting to make forum posts have a problem in Firefox.  

In Firefox, it's an increasing problem that a cursor doesn't appear when clicking in the message area.  There are tricks to get one to appear, such as using the toggle html source button or clicking on right justify (which inserts a DIV tag, allowing the cursor to appear.)  No problem typing in a Subject.

This is happening in the latest versions of Firefox such as 16, 17, 18 and 19.

Everything works fine in IE.  Is this Java related, possibly?  Due to new security issues and Firefox's response?

Everything works fine in Moodle 2.x with TinyMCE, but we won't be upgrading until end of 2013.

Any thoughts much appreciated!
