Describe the bug
When one goes to edit an article in the visual editor after a few moments of typing or moving stuff around the visual editor will freeze and you cannot backspace or continue to format as the issue progressing it will prevent you from even typing.
I thought this was an overall issue but I tried editing on safari and I didn't seem to have this issue, I was only able to reproduce it on my firefox client.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1.) Use visual editor and firefox.

Expected behavior
You should be able to fully edit articles without issue.
