    Keyboard shortcuts in Firefox don't work as expected

    Previously, on Ubuntu and other systems, the following shortcuts in Firefox would work:

    • Ctrl + Tab - Switches between tabs
    • Ctrl + F4 - Closes current tab

    Since installing the Mate desktop (Gnome 2), the shortcuts do the following:

    • Ctrl + Tab - Does nothing
    • Ctrl + F4 - Closes Firefox

    I've checked in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" section in Mate, but neither of these are being overridden. Compiz isn't installed.


    This is rather annoying.

    **SOLVED:** The Firefox extension "FoxTab 1.4.5" was responsible for breaking these shortcuts. Disabling it restores the desired functionality.
