This is the great Keyboard-privacy add-on, written from Paul Moore https://paul.reviews/behavioral-profiling-the-password-you-cant-change/ for Chrome. Unfortunately, it was never ported for FF. It disables Keboard tracking!

Unfortunately, it was never ported to Firefox, so I hope, this will do it.

Maybe you need Chrome store foxified plugin to install it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-store-foxified/

I hope, Paul will rewrite this great secuity tool, so it really fits for Firefox from the start.

I had tested this on FF45 and FF52 but the addOn's interface back then was all broken. Now on FF77, the interface works great, but I do not think the addOn works, even with a 1000ms delay I can see my characters arriving on Keytrack as soon as I type them. Works great in Chrome though.

Great except it doesn't work when writing a comment on facebook or youtube, though I am not sure if they use behavioral monitoring there, it may be the search bar where they capture data instead, please let me know and i will update my star review accordingly. seems to work sporadically on search engines. on bing it never staggered my text, on duck duck go it works half the time...
