Steps to reproduce:

No matter what word you use, the letter is doubled.
If you type Google, what you get is: ggooooggllee

Actual results:

No matter what word you use, the letter is doubled.
If you type Google, what you get is: ggooooggllee

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Address Bar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Does that happen with all and any input on any website (!) and/or Firefox interface elements? If your system's input is too slow there's not much that Firefox can do itself...

This happens only on Firefox; no other browser. It does not matter what I type in the search bar; any word doubles. I have a 5 1/2 month old laptop with exceptional internet speed; no where near slow. I have uninstalled, reinstalled twice. I have restarted and shutdown my laptop. Again, only occurring in Firefox.

Hi AMG,

Could you navigate to about:config and look for the input_event_queue.supported setting and change its value to false then restart the browser and check if that fixes the issue?

Thank you!

Closing due to lack of response from the reporter.
