The only browser that lets me post on LJ any more is IE. Firefox and Safari will browse, but they won't let me enter entries or comment on other peoples'.

This is akin to not having electricity in the shop, and instead of using the table saw or the chop saw, getting out a stone axe

Plus, whatever malware the .ru sites are using are dropping random characters.

Bah.

That's odd. I used FF forever without problems, and then dropped it when it started having Flash problems. I use Chrome with no difficulty. Are you using any extensions like FBP or Social Fixer? Some of these can introduce oddities.

Hmm, whatever it is, it's not the browser per se. Looks like you have a misconfiguration or a malware problem. Perhaps you could try a fresh portable version of FireFox or Chrome from PortableApps and see, whether the problem persists.

Sorry for the time you'll have to spend to figure this out.

Good hunting.

Firefox

I use FireFox exclusively and am not having any problems.

I am in agreement with Marmoe that is not the browser per se, but in your installation of it.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
