Cannot comment on Youtube, hotkeys are stuck controlling video instead.
When I click to type a comment, the keyboard still has control over video playback (hotkeys) and typing a comment is nearly impossible as it's controlling the video. It's not my keyboard as Youtube on other browsers works as normal, so definitely a Firefox issue.

There have been quite a few reports about this YouTube issue recently.
Looks like a YouTube bug where JavaScript always interprets a space bar and other characters as control keys and doesn't disable this action when an input field has focus.

A possible workaround for now is to write text or affected characters elsewhere (e.g. in the location bar) and paste the clipboard content in the search bar or comment field.
