This is working on Firefox 52 by the way. Only after updating to FF 53 does it break. I've confirmed with three computers, though only on Windows 10.

Also confirmed with using a fresh installed portable version, with no addons. Have tested both with and without Multiprocess.

I can't reproduce it with Nightly so I'd say it's already fixed. But I fail to find a fix range, all 52/53 nightlies work.

Is something disabled about input in the release of FF53?
