Seeing this on a project I'm developing on in Firefox 58.0b3.  Does not seem to be any way around it without heavy DOM modification.  What's the status here?

This is still an issue with the latest Firefox. It existed in Chrome but has been fixed since 2013: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=170139

FYI, you can click with ALT key pressed to place the cursor to the position that you clicked.

Ok cool, didn't know that, but it's as a good solution as not using firefox, so no solution at all. Is this really an issue since 2013?
