In Nightly 2017-11-02 and the one I just upgraded from (10-20 or so?), modifier keys do not work in Google Docs. It's as if they were never pressed.

1. Open a Google Doc.
2. Pretty command-V to paste some text.

Rather than pasting, a "v" appears in the document.

It also eats more definitely browser-owned shortcuts like command-L for moving to the location bar: an "l" shows up instead. The Option key is also ignored: option-leftarrow does nothing at all rather than moving left 1 word. The cursor doesn't even move left 1 char.

I tried it in an old copy of 50a2, and it works fine there, so it's probably not Google's breakage.

Hi Andrei, could you or your team help us find the regression window for this? Thank you.

Tried to reproduce this issue on macOS 10.13, macOS 10.12.6, Windows 10 x64 and Ubuntu 16.04 x64, using the steps from comment 0 and the following builds: 58.0a1 (2017-11-08), 58.0a1 (2017-11-02) and 58.0a1 (2017-10-20), but unsuccessfully. I can confirm that  various tried keyboard shortcuts (like cmd/ctrl+V/C/X/Z/L/left arrow/right arrow and many more site specific ones) are properly working on Google Docs. 
Is there anything I missed? Are there any additional steps or requisites that help reproducing the issue?

Reconfirmed in the newer Nightly 2017-11-13, macOS 10.12.6, and this time with no add-ons...but only on my work machine, which is a 2017 MacBook Pro. My mid-2012 Retina MacBook Pro with 10.13.1 and the same Nightly (and no add-ons) works fine. Hmm. I'll dig into it some more.

Erik, would you be able to use mozregression to try to find what busted this? Thanks.
Flags: needinfo?(erik)
Will do.
I recall something about anti-fingerprinting and need to find the related bugs.

:erik, do you have anti-fingerprinting turned on in prefs? This *might* be a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1414012, if so.

That was it, Emma! Turned it off, and command keys work.
