Comment (by arthuredelstein):
Replying to [comment:23 gk]:
> I wonder if there is a way to distinguish between event listeners from
content pages and those from chrome code (i have not checked the code). If
so, then we could let these events get created in the first place but
allow them only to bubble up to chrome listeners.
It turns out that in vanilla Firefox, content-generated KeyboardEvents are
shared with chrome. So the problem with this patch is that I was deleting
events from content pages, then chrome isn't seeing them either. So I need
to look into whether it is possible to just send the events to chrome and
keep them from being visible to content.
