on some sites ctrl-t ctrl-n do not open a new tab/window. example: youtube
On some websites (not just a c0uple but many) when I press ctrl-t to open a new tab nothing happens. Same with ctrl-n. Using the File menu works fine but not the hot keys. On most pages they work fine: on your "troubleshooting information" page it works fine. I can't figure out any pattern. The option is set for open new window in new tab and it works fine. It seems to be the hot key. I just upgraded to Firefox 6 beta but it's been the same with the last several versions I've used.

Click outside of the video area to give keyboard control back to Firefox. Click inside to give it back to Flash. As the above link shows, this is an olllllllllllld issue that probably won't ever be fixed.
