Trough the fact that Firefox on Android doesn't trigger key-events, but also triggers the input-event some kind of weird, (like if you press one key two events get triggerd, and it also triggers the input-event if you leave the input) I had to write my own event:

(function($){
var $event = $.event,
    $special = $event.special.fennecInput = {
        setup: function(){
            $(this).on('input',$special.handler);
        },
        teardown: function(){
            $(this).off('input',$spceial.handler);
        },
        handler: function(event) {
            var context = this,
                args = arguments,
                dispatch = function() {
                    event.type='fennecInput';
                    $event.dispatch.apply(context,args);
                };
            if($(context).val() != $(context).attr('data-fennecInput-oldval')){
                dispatch();
                $(context).attr('data-fennecInput-oldval',$(context).val());
            }
        }
    };
})(jQuery);

this event gets only triggered if an input-event happens that changes the value, so it doesn't execute events unnecessary.
