Media shortcuts stuck on Youtube

I can't insert spaces to my text on Youtube search bar and comment section. The space bar acts as a media play pause button. The issue appears only on Firefox, I've tried Edge and the space bar behaves normally there on Youtube. Adds a space on text boxes and plays or pauses the video when the video box is selected. I know this might be a dumb solution but I have had way too much on my back the past week I just cannot deal with this now.

There have been quite a few reports about this YouTube issue recently.

Looks like a YouTube bug where JavaScript always interprets a space bar and other characters as control keys and doesn't disable this action when an input field has focus.

A possible workaround for now is to write text or affected characters elsewhere (e.g. in the location bar) and paste the clipboard content in the search bar or comment field.
