I'm pretty sure that there's nothing preventing other apps on your desktop from listening to keystrokes that are supposed to go into Firefox, unfortunately. This is a fundamental problem with the X11 protocol and as far as I know the only real solution is to switch to Wayland.

    Ubuntu 22.04 now defaults to Wayland so that should make a big difference in the coming years

    wayland has never been a pleasant experience for me, neither was pipewire. everything the nix community fawns over seems to be regressive bullshit that breaks my system. systemd is only just now becoming acceptable in that in the past year it hasn't fucked me too hard.

      Please stop using "nix" to mean Unix and similar systems. *nix is OK. There is an important package manager named Nix.
