Hi,

I have a realy strange problem with firefox and youtube. When i want to type a comment under a youtube video the video switches to the miniplayer even when im typing in the comment field. I know the shortcut key is the 'i' for the miniplayer but i cant leave a comment when the letter i is used in the comment.

I have tried to to disable all the add-ons, i have tried to refresh firefox, i have uninstalled firefox and re-install it, tried it on another pc but the problem is still there.

It is a firefox problem because google chrome dont have the problem.

Im using Firefox 86.0 (x64) latest version, no updates.

So if anyone knows how to disable the shortcut key 'i' of another solution to the problem, please leave a comment!

Thanks in advance!!!!

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.
