Good evening. Since a few days (since installed ver 124) I'm unable to use the "repeatability" from keyboard. I couldn't find any adjustment option in configuration to manage this. I tried outside (with other programs) and it works fine. Maybe its me, that I'm missing some adjustment. Would you guide me about this, please? Thanks in advance!

PD: OS: Linux ver 22.04 Browser: obviously Firefox version 124.0.1 64bits machine achitecture: Pentium i7 Main problem: when in X, repetition is null or very slow. Regards.

Is this about the Backspace key? We've had a number of reports on that on Linux here and on Reddit (r/Firefox), for example:

It should be fixed in version 125 Beta and later (Bug 1880619). You can avoid the issue by switching to Wayland or using the flatpak package.
