Ctrl+p doesn't open Print dialogue -- now opens Tools/Web Developer/Web Console instead
Until yesterday, for every application that has a print option, Ctrl+P opened the Print dialogue box. Now, for some reason, in Firefox, Ctrl+P opens some, to me, useless info Web Console panel from the Tools menu (Tools/Web Developer/Web Console). I made no such change, so I assume this was something instituted via a FF update. It now means I can't print a Web page without going to the File menu -- and if an article offers a print-friendly formatted page with no menu bar, I can't print it at all!
Can someone tell me how to correct this annoying change? If possible, I'd like to disable most Web Developer tools, as I don't really have any need for them.
Thanks in advance...

The normal shortcut for the web console is Ctrl+Shift+k, so I have no idea why yours is wired to Ctrl+p. I assume you have tried exiting and restarting Firefox; you might also try restarting Windows. Hopefully someone else will have a better suggestion.
As a short-term workaround, you could install the Print/Print Preview 0.9 extension; it adds a fly-out menu to the right-click context menu with Print/Preview/Page Setup so those are available when a site has suppressed the menu bar.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll probably add that extension in any event.
Meanwhile, surprisingly, I came upon an extension -- http://menueditor.mozdev.org/ -- in this forum that let me get rid of the Web Developer menu item altogether. They use the term "hide," though it clearly disables the item too, as my Ctrl+p printing function is back in action!
Another mystery dealt with, if not altogether solved...
You may have installed another extension that changed the Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut to the Web Console.
No other extensions are enabled. Thanks, though!
