Office online (office.com) has multiple problems in Firefox

Whenever I open Office (outlook.office.com) in Firefox, it doesn't work the same as when I open it in Chrome. I will be typing an email and suddenly the cursor stops typing words. I wait a minute to see if it will catch up and it doesn't, so I have to re-type. Half the time when I hit spacebar, the space doesn't appear, I have to hit it multiple times for it to work. At random times, I will be typing in a reply to an email and suddenly it pops up saying it is archiving a message, or it will pop up a new outgoing email window. I thought it was my keyboard, but realized it ONLY happens in Firefox when using Office.com. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

What OS? If Windows, what security software are you running? Have you tried Firefox in Safe Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-4troubleshoot-modesf5safe-modesf
