User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 GTB5 (.NET CLR 2.0.50727)

Sometimes, when I want to open a new tab, I press Ctrl-T, but nothing happens, a new tab is NOT opened (Firefox has the focus, in case you're wondering). If I go to the "file" menu and select "new tab", a new tab appears. After that Ctrl-T works again.
This is happening VERY often now.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.press Ctrl-T
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
A new tab should be created.

Hi!
Well, no, haven't tried SM/new profile.
I can't remember in what pages this happens, I'll pay more attention next time and report back to you...

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later in safe mode or a fresh profile? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.

This bug is still there in FF4. It usually happens when there's a flash video/animation playing.
