When I press Ctrl+T a new tab does not open, neither does Firefox>New Tab> New Tab

Also it seems that none of the shortcuts are highlighted when I look through the Firefox drop down, they (Ctrl+O etc) work however...

Hello peterlock, check it in Safe Mode, in Safe Mode window select "Start in Safe Mode" and see if this happen again, if not then see: Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

(If the problem does not happen in Safe Mode, it is most likely because of an extension, theme or hardware acceleration).

thank you
