Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1625475

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

We recently switched to using FireFox on Windows from Chrome. When composing a Tweet on Twitter, you are unable to control the position of the cursor. The normal keyboard functions, such as cut and paste or inserting an emoji are affected.

Actual results:

We try to post a new Tweet and adorn it with the usual hashtags and emojis, however the insertion of an emoji for example, goes to the wrong place, the insertion of text or placing of hashtags does not work as expected and we are unable to cut a section of text or an emoji.

Expected results:

We notice that loading the page inspector somewhat remedies the issue and most things then work properly. At which point it appears to be an intermittent issue.

I don't know if the issue is caused by Twitter's JavaScipt or CSS or by FireFox's interpretation of it.
