Can't Type in Browser

Zorin was working fine until I installed Linux Mint along side of it. Now I can't type in Google Chrome or Brave browsers, only in Firefox. Any idea on how to fix this?

Can you type anywhere else in Zorin when you're booted into the system? Like the start menu or the login page, other applications etc?

I'm wondering if just a keyring issue has come up here and they need to be reset in order to function properly (or maybe the keyring prompt is appearing behind other windows and won't let you type in them because it wants you to type in that first?).

Are Chrome and Brave Flatpaks or .deb's? And - like @applecheeks37 already asks - does the Typing in the other Parts of the System works or doesn't it work at all?

Yes, I can type in Zorin itself and in firefox, just not in chrome or brave.

I don't get a keyring prompt. I can try deleting them and see if that solves anything.

I figured out the problem. I'm using firejail and I used this command - sudo firecfg --clean, and now I can type in the browsers again. I'm not sure why dual booting would cause this. It was working fine before I started dual booting mint and zorin. Ty for all of your help.

Weird. I would recommend reaching out to the developers of the project and at least ask about this... anyway, I'm making this last reply as the solution.
