I got this also. 
It could be fixed by replacing textarea by input element.

method window.historyStorage.setup:
replace string
{code}
+ '<textarea id="' + textareaID + '" style="' + textareaStyles + '" 
></textarea>'
{/code}
by string
{code}
+ '<input type="text" id="' + textareaID + '" style="' + textareaStyles + '" />'
{/code}

Thanks Dennis. Had this same problem with all versions of Firefox. using 
<input/> 
instead fixed it.
