Librewolf Caps Lock Treated Like Shift - Keyboard Shortcuts Not Working (lemmy.ml)

I'm new here and am not sure if this is the right place to post a question about Librewolf. I found this area from the Librewolf site when trying to find a support forum of sorts. If this is not the place then I apologize and will know for in future.

I've found that my custom shortcuts on a website I built, no longer work as expected. For some reason, when I type "s" with the caps lock key on, it is treated as if I had typed "shift" + "s" to give the capital "S". This would normally be fine, but my site has shift + s treated as my "save" shortcut in Javascript, because ctrl + s triggers the browsers save page functionality. My custom shortcut works in traditional Firefox, but not Librewolf. Is there a reason that the caps-lock key converts the key events to as if we were holding down shift? Is there a way to disable this?

I just discovered that the shift key is not functioning at all in the web console in Proxmox when using LibreWolf. This makes it practically impossible to use the VNC web console terminal because you can't log in if you use special characters in your passwords E.g. typing shift + 4 for a dollar sign will end up entering the number 4 (as if shift was not pressed).
