User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Went to https://www.webaim.org. Turned on VoiceOver on MacOS Catalina version 10.15.5 (19F101). Navigated to the Search bar and started typing.

Actual results:

Nothing.

Expected results:

VoiceOver should have announced each letter I typed as I typed it.

I managed to reproduce this issue only on Firefox 79.0, On Firefox 81.0a1 and on Firefox 80.0b6 the issue is not reproducible.
Most likely this is going to be fixed in the next Firefox Release, but I'm going to set a component to this to receive an official confirmation.
