I cant use keyboard shortcuts to control internet-TV (tv.nrk.no), since Firefox automatically starts a search (as if I pressed Ctrl+F) when i press any button.

I use Firefox Quantum 68.0.2 (64-bit).

I used to be able to rewind, pause and fast forward with the letters J, K, L. Not anymore.

Hi Finn, It sounds like you have "Search for text when you start typing" enabled. Here's how to disable it:

  1. Go to [=] > Options > General.
  2. Scroll down to the Browsing section, and uncheck Search for text when you start typing.

That key function is a Windows default and the Browser follows the Windows key function defaults. So unless your keyboard has media keys that would be something I would use and or get a keyboard with those dedicated media functions.
