All of a sudden my right arrow key is causing the windows 10 volume pop up to come and increase my volume which is very annoying, how do I fix this? I already did this, and restarted Firefox and windows 10, didn't work. hardwaremediakeys. enabled = false.

You can set media.hardwaremediakeys.enabled = false on the about:config page. *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/control-audio-or-video-playback-your-keyboard

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Did you read anything I said? I said I already did that and it didn't work.

You wrote: "hardwaremediakeys. enabled" and that is not the correct name (it has a space and the leading "media." is missing). If that is a typo in your question then something else is wrong.

Did you try to close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer after modifying the pref ?

I did this here is a screenshot, yes I restarted firefox.

Now the arrow keys are controlling volume, the right arrow key again and I have it set to False.
