Glitchy text input on text boxes across multiple devices

3vie

Hello Firefox Help Forums,

I have been struggling with a persistent issue for months now which is hard to fully describe, but simply put when I go to type in certain text boxes on websites, the input will repeat and cut random parts of the words, making it impossible to type anything coherent.

For example: "Hello world this is a test of typing on firefox" becomes: "HHelHH world this is a test of typing on firefoxello"

Backspacing to try and delete the text feels jittery as the letters take a long time to delete and can cause more garbled text to appear.

I have had this issue on multiple devices: Samsung Galaxy A54 5g, Android 16, Fennec 151.0.0 Google Pixel 6A, Android 17, iceraven-2.45.0 AND Fennec 157.0.0

I can replicate this semi reliably on the following specific sites: nekoweb.org/dashboard/editor/[page] (typing anywhere in the HTML editor) teams.cloud.microsoft (typing in the box to send a message)

If anyone has any idea on how I can fix this I would really appreciate it! Please let me know if there is any further information I can provide to help figure this out.
