I can reproduce that it turns black, but it doesn't appear to be crashing mozilla-runtime.

Tony asked a good question on IRC. He asked me to check if this happened with any other plugins tried a couple full tab Windows Media files and Adobe Flash Player files without similar results. I tried most of the basic ctrl + keyboard combos (alpha, numbers, symbols).

I also don't get a crash but do get the blackness.  I can close the pdf tab using ctrl + w after Switching tabs and then coming back.

While using MSVC spy++ capture bellow key event:
1.open an pdf in FF.
2.select document and press ctrl +w
keyboard event trapped as bellow:
...WM_KEYDOWN nVirtKey:VK_CONTROL cRepeat:1 ....
...WM_KEYDOWN nVirtKey:'W' cRepeat:1 ScanCode:11 ....
Tab view goes black.
then press ctrl+w again.
spy++ capture bellow keyboard event:
...WM_KEYDOWN nVirtKey:VK_CONTROL cRepeat:1 ....
...WM_KEYDOWN nVirtKey:'W' cRepeat:1 ScanCode:11 ....
...WM_CHAR chCharCode:'0017'(23) cRepeat:1ScanCode:11....
...WM_KEYUP nVirtKey:VK_CONTROL cRepeat:1 ....
...WM_KEYUP nVirtKey:'W' cRepeat:1 ScanCode:11 ....
One thing need to mention here:
ctrl+w is the combination key for acrobat reader to close pdf file, it's also key combination for closing tab.

seems tab view does not take this combination key as whole.

Closing old bugs in the Plugins component. We aren't going to track issues in 3rd-party plugins in the Mozilla bug tracker. In addition, support for NPAPI plugins will be removed at the end of this year; for more details see the post at https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/

If there is a serious bug in Firefox, it needs to be filed in the "Core" product, "Plug-Ins" component.
