Suddenly with version 9 and 10 i cant use the shortcut command of ctrl+shift+t to open the most recently closed tab. a feature used several times a day, previously. This is very Frustrating to me, i have tried looking up a tool keyconfig 20110522 and looked that it says that ctrl+shift+t is the right command, but i still cant use it WHY oh WHY?? if i could get some help figuring this out it would be so awesome, cause i love Firefox, been using it almost daily for the last 10 or so years and i don't intend to switch soon.

Hi,

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode. This is a temporary diagnostic session and you can exit anytime and start Firefox normally again. This session disables all the Extensions, themes (Appearance) and Plugins in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons.

Please also check in a new profile. If it works you can later copy important files from the old profile. You can also try the right-side Ctrl and Shift keys.

Do you have other software running on the computer that may interfere with the Ctrl+Shift+T?

Try to boot the computer in Safe mode (press F8 on boot screen), with network support, to see if that makes it work.

Today again when i have booted up my computer after sleep the command is working again, now that i can remember firefox crashed on me yesterday and after that i couldnt use the shortcut, so perhaps its some conflict arise after the crash.
