Keys do not repeat when held in Gmail
When editing in Gmail, holding a key down does NOT repeat the character or action. e.g. xxxxx when holding down the "x" or deleting multiple characters when holding down the <Backspace> key.
It works properly in other apps (e.g. this dialogue).
And works okay in Gmail in other browsers (e.g. Chromium or Brave).
I'm using Firefox 124 on Linux Mint 20.1.
System: Kernel: 5.4.0-174-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0
Desktop: Cinnamon 5.2.7 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.3 Una
