The media keys on my keyboard (play/pause/skip/prev) no longer control music playing in the media player (MediaMonkey) unless MediaMonkey is in the foreground in focus when I open Waterfox.

I would assume this means that Waterfox is wants to use the media keys for something. If I'm correct, Is there a way to disable this?

Any help much appreciated, Thank you.

Please note that Waterfox is not an official Mozilla build of Firefox, so there will be bugs and issues with it that aren't in default Firefox. You should test with firefox from www.getfirefox.com.

Also, is there an update for your keyboard?
