Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open last.fm and play some music. Works on pandora.com too! 2. Attempt to use CTRL-T to open a new tab. 3. Nothing happens. Actual Results: No new tab was opened. Expected Results: A new tab should have opened.
Do you mean when flash has focus firefox doesn't respond to any shortcut keys?
Yes, this is what I was getting at. The flash application embedded in the webpage should not be allowed to steal focus and disable my shortcut keys.

Sean useless comments like you just posted in bug 78414 are not welcome. You just spammed over 200 people with a comment that has nothing to do with the solution to the problem. Kindly read https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html for future reference. Thanks.
My apologies, I was just taken aback by the fact that the bug is EIGHT years old! I'm not able to fix this myself, however I am willing to help test any code that is produced to address the problem. Let me know if anyone finds the time to address this issue.
