shortcut keys on mac
since the last update, the shortcut keys to highlight a word at a time left OR right are both highlighting the next word AND also jumping to the last tab. AGAIN! I noticed this was identified as a problem back around 2019 in a search. I now cannot move fluidly within text, nor highlight a word at a time quickly. Either it's whole line or simply a letter at a time... which results in a pretty incompetent, crippling experience. PLEASE FIX!!

Oh wait, do you use the Tree Style Tabs extension?

I think I saw another Mac user reporting this. Is the problem with
- command + →
- option + →
- command + shift + →
- option + shift + →
- something else?
Seems like switching tabs should not occur if you are in a form field, but maybe Firefox 127 has lost track of that for some reason.
Does the problem occur on basic form fields (like on this site), or on rich text forms, like email editors?

Thanks for the replies. I haven't historically myself added this extension, but I'm going to check them and clean them up to try to approach it that way. This has been annoying for at least several days but perhaps a couple of weeks, I can't really track timing too well at this point :)
Option–Shift–Right Arrow: Extend text selection to the end of the current word, then to the end of the following word if pressed again
This is what it USED to do... now I briefly see the word highlighted before jumping far and away to the first tab ever opened... mind-boggling and vertiginous ;)
UPDATE: YES, that tree-style tab extension was in fact loaded. I don't recall it nor understand it nor care, it has never been interacted with and I don't see a need for it so I deleted it. Clearly SINCE the last update, that extension is (perhaps "again") causing issues. THANK YOU!
