telegram in firefox does not allow to enter text

Hardware Librem 5

I have to use tg in a browser because the telegram-desktop app is broken. I use FF as:

Package: firefox-esr
Version: 102.8.0esr-1~deb11u1
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: web

After an update of telegram, I face the following situation: entering chars from the keyboard does no change the symbol of the micro (for recording an audio message) to a send arrow. See this picture below. What can I do?

Give up, it is just complete rubbish. I installed telegram from flatpak and it is bearable comparing to the browser

In the past I pinned firefox-esr in the file to stay with that old version. Don’t remember the reason for this. An update with a newer version that the pinned was unusable. I move a way the pinned file:

$ cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/firefox-esr
Package: firefox-esr
Version: 102.8.0esr-1~deb11u1
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: web

updated firefox-esr and have now

$ apt info firefox-esr
Package: firefox-esr
Version: 140.13.0esr-1~deb11u1
Priority: optional
Section: web

and with this telegram works fine.

In general, I don’t like the concept of flatpack, which should be renamed to fatpack, i.e. with any installed app to get the same bunch of shared libs again and again.
