Steps to reproduce:

Example from CodePen
----

1. Create a new Pen
2. Enter some code into the HTML box
3. Use keyboard shortcut Cmd+A to select all text



Example from Google Docs
----

1. Create a new document
2. Enter some text into the document
3. Use keyboard shortcut Cmd+Z to undo the text entry


Actual results:

Example from CodePen
----

Nothing - no text is selected. Edit > Select all context menu item is also disabled. Right-clicking into the HTML entry box gives the option to Select all, which functions correctly.



Example from Google Docs
----

The 'z' character is entered instead of undoing the text entry. Using the Edit > Undo context menu item works correctly. While Cmd+Z does not work, somehow the shortcut Ctrl+Z does work.


Expected results:

Example from CodePen
----

All text within the HTML box should have been selected. This works in previous versions of Firefox.



Example from Google Docs
----

Text entry should have been undone. This works in previous versions of Firefox.
