Steps to reproduce:
Some genius at Mozilla decided to remove support for KeyboardEvent in Firefox 12 WITHOUT replacing ith with the DOM Level 3 STANDARD way to populate a textarea with text.
So now all apps out there that relied on sending keypresses to write text into textareas (like speech to text apps, and tons of apps for the disabled, as well as virtual keyboard apps) are now **** thanks to that genius who made this most incompetent of decisions. If you want to removed a non-standard feature like Keyboard Event, you should have an alternative, like Chrome, Safari and other browsers
document.createEvent('TextEvent') should be supported
Actual results:

Expected results:
