The issue is still reproducible on Windows 10 x64, Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and Mac 10.12, with latest Firefox release (57.0) and latest Nightly build (59.0a1) installed, using the latest master build.
It is also reproducible on 1.9.0b1 build with CKeditor.

@Natim I guess this never worked, not even in Quill. Firefox probably cannot focus on that sidebar?
