Youtube typing function mixed with hotkeys

Hi, I just got a problem, and I have no idea if it is on Firefox, Youtube or something else, but I need to start somewhere, and I guess it might be Firefox, because I don´t have this problem with other browsers.

I can´t use Youtube properly anymore. Every time I want to type something on Youtube, for example in the search bar or in the comment section, it gets mixed up with the hotkeys. For example, pressing "t" gives me a "t" in text, and it moves the video into cinematic mode at the same time. Pressing "i" gives me an I in a text field, but also puts the video into miniplayer mode at the same time. Spacebar however doesn´t give me a space in text, but only pauses the video. To type something, I need to open a word document, and copy paste it into youtube, because I can't properly type on the Youtube website properly anymore.

I tested the same keyboard on a different browser on a different computer. Then it works fine. So I think either it is my computer, or the Firefox browser.

Hi

Thank you for flagging up this issue.

YouTube have looked into this and will be correcting the issue shortly.

Its issue with youtube, google changed something without properly testing it on firefox. (but it works on chrome, how convenient for them).

I see now there are more requests like that popping up. So, no need to answer here.

Yepp, but I want to continue with Firefox and not change to Chrome, so... they don´t get me.
