User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0
Build ID: 20130423212553

Steps to reproduce:

1) I have Selenium IDE  - Version 1.10.0 (Add on installed).
2) running the test case - Verify that the Toolbox and the Developer Tools window state are remembered using the Firefox 21 build 1.
3) Executed the step 5 - Ctl+Shift+S to open the debugger.




Actual results:

Selenium IDE window opened.


Expected results:

As per the test case, it should open debugger window.

Note - If I uninstall the selenium IDE, it works as expected. However, it is an extra step for the user to uninstall selenium IDE unnecessarily.
I have NoScript installed, so NoScript menu opens.

What do you think should be changed?
Summary: When add-on selenium is installed , not able to use contl+shift+s to open the debugger → When add-on selenium is installed , not able to use Ctrl+Shift+S to open the Debugger
1) Install Selenium IDE (From developer studio. you should see Selenium IDE)add on
on your firefox browser
2) Try to open debugger (Developer Studio - > Debugger) using the keys - Ctrl+Shift+s

Actual Results -
It opens up selenium IDE as shown in the attached screenshot

Expected behavior - 
The debugger window needs to open at bottom of the window.
I think - Ctrl+Shift+s of debugger command conflicts with Selenium IDE's Alt+Shift+s. Note that othher two options are working fine  - ctrl+shift+I for inspector ; ctrl+shift+K for web console.
One option would be - you can introduce ctrl+shift+d to open the debugger. Provided it is not conflicting with anything else.
I can reproduce this issue on my machine:

Name 	Firefox
Version 	46.0a1
Build ID 	20160111030207
User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Component: Untriaged → Plug-ins
Ever confirmed: true

This sounds like hotkey conflict.

Ctrl+Shift+something is a frequent key combo for Firefox's own hotkeys, IMHO an add-on or an NPAPI plugin shouldn't try to hijack it: add-ons and plug-ins ought to select more "exotic" key combos. This bug sounds to me as "it's a bug, but not in Mozilla" — namely, a bug in the Selenium IDE, and which should be reported to them.

I believe this bug to be INVALID ("not a Mozilla bug") but I'd like a second opinion. Benjamin, what do you think?

Totally unrelated to plug-ins. Also addons are allowed to take hotkeys.
