I would like to disable the media keys in Firefox. Firefox is "grabbing" media keys presses in Windows 10 even in pages without multimedia. I would like for Firefox not to do that, so I can use another application behind. If I want to use the media keys (ie MediaMonkey ) I need either close or minimize Firefox. Chrome have a section in the settings to disable those - does Firefox also have?

Straight away thank you for any answer, Regards

It sounds like a configuration issue I can press media keys on my keyboard and firefox ignores it. Are you sure MediaMonkey didn't mess up the configuation of the keys?
