URL: https://www.youtube.com

Browser / Version: Firefox 66.0
Operating System: Linux
Tested Another Browser: Unknown

Problem type: Something else
Description: Spacebar has double effect, plays then pauses video right away
Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Load any YouTube video and wait for it to start playing.
  2. Click on the pause button with the mouse. This is important to trigger the problem; it seems to give the pause button some sort of focus.
  3. Press the spacebar.

Expected results:

Pressing the spacebar resumes the video.

Actual results:

Pressing the spacebar resumes the video, then a fraction of a second later, pauses it again. It's as if the spacebar press is being processed twice in quick succession.

If you click with the mouse elsewhere, so as to remove the "focus" from the play/pause button, the spacebar subsequently works fine.

The issue does not occur in Chrome.
