Firefox suddently confuses typed keys in youtube search bar for youtube shortcuts. SpaceBar is not typed, but if a video is running will stop it. Typing "f" will put the video in full screen. Even after pc rest problem continues. Firefox works fine outside youtube. Crome has no such problem with youtube.

Yes, Reddit also is flooded with posts on this problem. (for example) Probably Google changed something and it's better to wait for a fix than to try to hack around it.
