Do you have a Firefox window open or only the Firefox menu bar?

Only the menu bar.

If there are no browser windows open then the keyboard shortcuts may not work if that menu bar doesn't have focus.

Can you open a new window via the Firefox menu bar?

It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)
