Why additional keyboard shortcut of services do not working on macos?
I have an apple keyboard with numpad. And I assigned F16, F17, F18, F19 to some shortcuts. On every application in my macos the all of additional keyboard shortcut (such like F16) works properly except from on firefox. An examples of this: when I press F16 in TextEdit application, the service does work properly just what i want. But in Firefox there has not any impact when I press. But also it works when I go to Firefox->Services menu and click the service name. It's only not work with the keyboard.
I uploaded a few screenshot. (Execuse me for my english, I am not native)

that is:
Firefox Keyboard Short Cuts are baked in and can not be changed due to security : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly
But there is this that will work with websites only : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shortkeys/?src=search
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Dear Pkshadow, Thank you so much your politeness and interest. I downloaded and read all of information written on addon.
Yes it perceived F16, F17 but how it will be possible to trigger an apple macos service (which it does run an applescript)?
I tried to select "trigger another shortcut" and entered f16 but it did not work. So is it possible to trigger system keyboard shortcut of F16?
Does your keyboard have an Fn key that you may have to press to activate function keys (Fn + F16)?

Yes I have Fn but F16 already works when I test it. The problem is it won't trigger system F16 keyboard shortcut which is runs an applescript. It's a macos service. (By the way fn+f16 does not work. But only F16 works)
So when I press F16 key with the help of Addon (shortcuts) firefox does preceive it. But how can I connect this key to Apple Shortcut? In the section of addon there is not any item about that. It only proived so few properties.

Not a Mac user but is that a special keyboard from the Windows 101 type keyboard? If so and that isn't the standard Mac keyboard that would require a driver made for that keyboard to use those functions keys - possibly.
