Windows shortcuts stopped working after starting firefox

  • Alt+Tab
  • Windwows-key to open startmenu
  • Windows+E to open Explorer...
  • and so on...

Only one working involving the windows-key is Windows+L Control-Key-Shortcuts work fine...

1. Changed keyboard - No success 2. deleted keyboard-drivers forcing a reinstall - no success 3. checked windows keyboard-filters and game-mode - no success Even the On-screen-keyboard has the same problem

So i checked the shortcuts right after starting windows and they worked So i started the usual apps i use one by one and then in sequence

Shortcuts always stopped working after starting firefox

so i deinstalled it and reinstalled it... worked for 2 days... now we are back to "mouse-around-mode"

i can not figure out how firefox caches the keyboard shortcuts and why if it does stopps them from work

so is switching to opera the solution?

Help please!
