I can reproduce this issue in Firefox 65 & 66 for MacOS.

Setting dom.keyboardevent.keypress.hack.dispatch_non_printable_keys to *.icloud.com seems to get us around this. Haven't tested for other breakage with this pref set.

Masayuki - maybe you could look into this issue for us please?

That makes this a regression of bug 1440189, then, which we shipped to release in bug 1496288.

Well, sounds like that we should do similar to bug 1536453. If *icloud.com does not aware of our new behavior, I think that all of them are designed for our legacy behavior. So, I think that adding it to the blacklist makes sense. On the other hand, if icloud has a preview of html files (like README.md of github), such files work differently in *.icloud.com from the other places. (Sorry, I'll take another PTO on the next Monday.)

We got an update from Apple and they think they have a patch. Rares, could you please try to verify?

Hi, I retested this issue and it no longer occurs on any version of Firefox Beta, Release or the latest Nightly, I will mark it as WorksForMe.
