Whenever I try to use the address bar in tablet mode, the touch keyboard opens and then is immediately closed. The same occurs when the touch keyboard is opened via the taskbar. This is making Firefox almost impossible to use in tablet mode.

This does not occur when using the ease of access keyboard via Windows 10 accessibility settings, which prevents the tablet mode keyboard from appearing, but the keyboard may as well be folded back out at this point.

"Show a touch keyboard when necessary" is enabled in options. Touch/tablet mode is enabled in preferences. These have been cycled on and off with no effect other than the touch keyboard not opening in the first place when the former is disabled.

The app appears shift and flicker when the address bar is tapped to search and the keyboard opens and closes again.

Running on HP Pavillion x360 14", using a 1080p display.

Edit: Applies to all text input boxes, not just address bar.
