All the RPM distros that use 61 dont seem to have the issue in my testing so far. Mint doesnt either but I havent checked Neon or Kubuntu, but Ubuntu Mate doesnt suffer from it either.

I've worked around it by installing Grammarly plugin. Not going to register it to get the benefits, I just need autocorrect, and once the Debian builds correct that, I'll dump Grammarly again.

I can imagine you need it for work but I just stick to Mint 19 as it works fine.

Yeah, I haven't seen most go to ESR-60. Only reason Debian has it is in the Experimental repo, which I've temporarily pinned it to. Although 52-ESR ends support nexxt month so the rumor is Debian stable will upgrade to 60-ESR at that point.

MX17 runs Firefox 61.01 as I noticed it when I install on my D430.

Firefox updated on Debian. Not to 61.0.1, but to 61.0-2 (build 2 of v61), and it fixed the auto-correct issue. So at this point looks like this issue is probably fixed in all OS's (I don't actually know about Gentoo, but I'll assume it's fixed there. I don't use Gentoo anymore, simply takes too much too keep it updated for me to enjoy using it).

Most of my distros are still using Firefox 61 not the updates but those same distros didnt have any issues to start.

Everything *buntu-based is now on 61.0.1, as well as Arch. Fedora last I had checked was still on 61.0, as well as Debian obviously.
