I am not able to close tabs using the command+w combination for Firefox. I have tried using the safe mode, and the issue persists there too. All other keyboard shortcuts seem to be working (refresh, tab switching, quitting Firefox completely, etc), and this behavior is restricted only to Firefox, other browsers have no such issue. I have also tried completely re-installing Firefox, but it didn't fix it.
