On some web sites the Firefox keyboard shortcuts do not work. For example, once Pandora.com is open in a tab, the search (CTL+K), change tab, close tab, etc... will not work on that tab. Once you change to another tab, like Wikipedia, the shortcuts work again until you return to the problem tab.

Keyboard shortcuts do not work if a plugin has focus. In that case you need to click outside the plugin to set the focus elsewhere to make the keyboard work again.

Thanks. Isn't there a way to do this with the keyboard?
