Description of the problem

The first time I click on the rendered content, I see a React error overlay reporting:

Security Error: Permission denied to access property "dispatchEvent" on cross-origin object

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

I can't actually use codesandbox to work on anything. I have to export a zip and work it locally.

I also tried in Vivaldi, but ran into a known issue that Vivaldi does not support inspecting iframes.

To Reproduce
Link to sandbox: link (optional)
Your Environment
Software Name/Version
Сodesandbox whatever codesandbox.io is running - i didn't see any way to get it to show me the version?
Browser Firefox 90.0b5 (64-bit)
Operating System macOS 11.3 (20E232)

Done means clicking the rendered content works without the React error overlay in the reported Firefox environment.
