I'm a keyboard user; I use alt+d all the time. Something has recently happened to cause that not to work most of the time. I'm not talking about when a plug-in like flash loads either; regular web pages. Ideas?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Does the alternative Ctrl +L to set focus to the location bar still work ?

It is possible that an extension is using the Alt + D keyboard shortcut.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Of course, it's been happening for quite some time, but as soon as I post it seems to stop. Ctrl+L does work. Will try other troubleshooting methods when it breaks again.
