Firefox `beforeinput` event support

See original GitHub issue

What would you like?

I would love to get beforeinput support in Firefox now that Firefox supports it.

Why is this needed?

This would be beneficial to anyone relying on the Firefox beforeinput event - otherwise that functionality cannot be tested with Cypress. In my case I am building a text editor which relies heavily on this event.

Other

beforeinput support was added to Cypress last year for Chromium browsers. Firefox has also added support for the beforeinput event which was added in version 87.

In this PR where beforeinput support was added there is a check specifically for the Chromium family of browsers. It would be great if Cypress triggered this event for Firefox (87+) just as it does for Chromium browsers.

It’s not on the roadmap right now and may take us a little bit to get to. Our Firefox userbase is actually quite small, so in order to get the fix in soon, you should consider submitting a PR.
