User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 11; Mobile; rv:132.0) Gecko/132.0 Firefox/132.0

Steps to reproduce:

When you quickly type text, the string doesn't stay at the end and gets messed up and the text is written in the middle, when we refresh the page and very quickly hit a search box and type very quickly and the error can be reproduced. I tested in Chrome and it doesn't reproduce. It happens on any site.

Actual results:

The writing string is not respected and does not stay at the end of the text, it moves to the middle.

Expected results:

The writing string should remain at the end.

Can a check be done? This is a bit annoying when we write something quickly.

On older phones and/or with no more internal memory or insufficient RAM, this error can be seen even more prominently every time.

Thank you for opening this :eclaudiu64. I haven't been able to replicate this but I am opening it up for QA to verify since they have more devices to test on.
Setting the severity to S4, and can move up when the QA gets back, if needed.

The error reproduces after we refresh the page, but while refreshing we hit the search box very quickly and type on the keyboard keys very quickly.

I was able to reproduce this issue on a Samsung Galaxy A14 (Android 13), on all the Fenix versions.

Not reproducible on Realme GT Master Edition (Android 13), nor on a Google Pixel 6 (Android 15).

Moving to GeckoView because looks like a bug in Firefox's keyboard code.
