By shortcuts I mean ctrl+t, ctrl+w, even ctrl+c and ctrl+v. They all stop working when I set more than one keyboard layout on Ubuntu (for instance "USA Alternative Intl" and USA). I'm running Firefox 14.0.1 and Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.


Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

Nope, that did not fix it, Vlad. I've also tried Firefox 15 beta and the problem happens there too. Any other ideas? Where should I report a bug about this? Thank you.
