I noticed for some reason I can use left shift for the shortcut to open private windows, but the right shift works fine. I also noticed left shift doesn't work to open Windows Task Manager. It's know the key being broken, because it works with other shortcuts. Has anyone else had a problem like this who can help me?

When you say Windows Task Manager, I think of Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Is that the combination that is not working? Since that is intercepted by Windows and not Firefox, I wonder if something is buggy at the system level. Have you already tried a regular shut down and restart of Windows in case it's a transient problem?

That is the combination, but it only doesn't work with the left shift key. With the right one it works fine. I've also been able to use other shortcuts with the left shift key. I have also tried restarting with no avail.

I've been thinking about it? could it just be because of my keyboard? I have one of those RGB keyboards you can change the color of.
