Hey!
I have added this in your addons review. I need an imediate solution.So I'm putting that here too.



Hey!
Please attention to this review as soon as possible. There is a big problem now on your extension you haven't fixed yet.
After installing tamilkey now there will be no select menu in right click option. But still we can launch fonts using shortcuts. (Alt + F keys).
But after selecting a font (Let's say Anjal) when we type in the box that box will become blink. Just check those.
I know the reason for this. Not reason actually I know from when it's coming like this. One of my sinhala friend want to create a extension like tamil key to write sinhala font. So I suggest him this tamil key. He has downloaded that using internet explorer. He edited that Tamilkey to create his tool. He replaced one of the font and added a sinhala font. After that he checked it in the firebox. I hope at that moment he has affected the Tamilkey. I know in my machine after installing that only I'm facing those problems.
Later I used an older version I had in my backup. (Version 0.3.2). It's working normally. I checked and find that when we updating that to the current version (0.4) we have to face those problems.
I know he has made that blink for text boxes. He said he can't type sinhala letters in normal text boxes. So he is making them as blink. Now they are in tamilkey also.
Now I think he have fixed his errors at he has put it on developers page. Currently it's in sandbox in the name of Sinhalakey.
So please fix these errors in tamilkey as soon as possible.I think you can easily revert to your older version.

Thank you
Regards
