I think the issue was caused by the Google Tag Manager shim. Tom, could you take a look?

I can't reproduce this one. The keyboard seems to work for me as it does on Chrome, even in older Firefox versions. But the SmartBlock shim should not be applying in standard mode, so that's concerning. Tim, can you still reproduce this?

Comment 4

[Tim Huang[:timhuang]]

No, I cannot reproduce the issue and I cannot see the shim script is loaded.

We can close this bug for now. Feel free to reopen it if necessary.
