Hi grenouillounette, I just gave this a try and couldn't replicate it. 

Do you have any add-ons that might be causing this? Can you check in Firefox Safe mode to see if it still happens? Thanks!

Hi lizzard,

I tried safe-mode and didn't notice any change.
But I also tried to pin another website and it worked as expected. So it appears it is only on the particular website I pinned, my bad.

I don't think this has anything to do with Firefox but if you want to check it, it is http://ticktick.com/#q/All/tasks (you have to be registered and connected so that it happens - the homepage is OK). I also noticed there are other websites that don't work when you scroll tabs with CTRL + TAB, and not only when they are pinned. www.prizee.com for example, when you are on the page of a game -> it scrolls between the elements of the games instead of the tabs, is it flash or something that is causing that ?

Thanks :)

Hi grenouillounette, oh, that explains it. Yes, this is a known issue with particular plugins that take over the window focus. See comment 638 on bug 78414: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78414#c638  At least I think that's the canonical explanation of what's happening, and there is some work on fixing some of the underlying issues. 

Thanks for your report, and for coming back to explain further!
