I can confirm the issue is still present and it stems from the Canonical Firefox Ubuntu modifications addon. 
This is very serious for Polish users, as AltGr is used to obtain special characters. The default browser is basically unusable for chats, text editing etc.

Title:
  AltGr modifier key triggers "blur" event

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While typing a text in an input field, every use of the AltGr modifier (ie. AltGr+Q = @ on German layout) triggers a "blur" event on the input field and the whole document.
  This can lead to issues with websites, since the user actually didn't leave the input and is continuously typing.

  Testcase: Enter in the interactive console:
  document.addEventListener("focus", function(){ console.log("focus "+new Date().getMilliseconds()) })
  document.addEventListener("blur", function(){ console.log("blur "+new Date().getMilliseconds()) })
  document.addEventListener("keydown", function(){ console.log("keydown "+new Date().getMilliseconds()) })

  For a normal key (like Q) I only get the keydown event.

  When hitting the AltGr key, I get this:
  "blur 358"
  "focus 363"
  "keydown 369"

  This happens also for the Super and Alt keys. But while the Alt key
  doesn't work as modifier (Alt+Q does not give @), the AltGr key does
  not work for operating system shortcuts. Its use is purely as keyboard
  modifier.
