Control-T no longer works in Firefox to open new tabs on my system. I did not disable it on purpose and cannot find a way to enable it again. I do have a bunch of add-ons installed, but I’ve had them for some time.

Any ideas as to how to re-enable it ?

Thanks.

The middle mouse button also is very useful in tabs, clicking a link with it opens the link in a new tab and clicking on a tab in the tab bar with it closes that tab even if it is not in the view.

I have a problem with Firefox 3.0. As soon as I add a page to my bookmarks, the Ctrl+W hotkey no longer works. Also, when I hit Ctrl+D to add a page to my bookmarks, I don’t get the confirmation popup box any more. This is all stuff I first noticed in FF 3.0. The earlier versions never had this problem. Anyone else ever experience this?

Thank you for this! I had a PDF making firefox hang and I fired up Google Chrome, found this post in Google and the CTRL + W tricked worked to make firefox useable again without having to shut the whole browser down.

Also, Ctrl-Shift-T works in Firefox and Chrome to un-close the last tab you closed. Often very handy.
