Firefox 3.6.21 does not recognize key remappings by AutoHotKey.

Hello, I have been remapping the left-Windows and left-Alt keys to the mouse buttons using AutoHotKey and to the best of my recollection they were working fine in Firefox. Recently I noticed that the remappings are no longer working in Firefox, 3.6.21. They do work in Word and other applications, so the issue seems to be in a recent update of Firefox.

Thank you!

Thanks for your reply. As it turns out, I upgraded to Firefox 6.0.2, and the problem was still there. But after a day or so, it went away. I'm baffled, but the bug seems to be gone (if it ever was a bug in Firefox). Thanks again for your input.

I am running firefox 12.0. Today the above problem started out of the blue. How on earth can I get it to work again. The only solution is to turn to IE which I don't want to do.

Hi hopeful5,
You're replying to a thread that is 8 months old. You should use https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new where volunteers can get more details about your setup.

Because this thread is so old and more people might start using it for their own questions, I'm going to lock it.
