I cannot reproduce this issue on Windows 10 but I see it on Windows 11. Alt-key combinations had special behavior before that took window focus but that's not happening here. The simple fix it to ignore Alt-key combinations.

On Windows 11, Alt-Space was opening a system context menu while also hiding the mouse cursor.

I managed to reproduce this issue on Firefox 102.0(build ID: 20220623063721) on Windows 10 64-bits. Verified as fixed on Firefox 103.0b4(build ID: 20220703190044) and Nightly 104.0a1(build ID: 20220704214252) on Windows 10 64-bits and Windows 11 PRO.
I suggest disabling this ALT+SPACE as a built in firefox shortcut. I didn’t find any cases when it could be useful to anyone and anytime. As a benefice, it will allow extension use this shortcut.
