I can't write a comment under any video on Youtube. Because hotkeys are also working in the same time when I'm writing a comment. For example, "space" button is hotkey for "play/pause" function, so when I push space instead of placing a "space" symbol it's playing and stopping the video. Or pushing "i" starts picture-in-picture mode, and so on. I'm using the latest version of Mozilla. How to fix this? I checked it in another browser (Yandex), and Youtube comments are working correct there

Yes, during the past two hours reports have flooded in. We think Google did an update but we don't have a fix yet. Hopefully in a few hours we'll have clarity on the problem and workarounds.

The Firefox sub-reddit (on Reddit) also is a place to check for news as there are hundreds of comments on this.
