When they didn’t work, this was the setting: ![GJ6LEN4WYAAu8sj](https://www.bathindahelper.com/uploads/default/original/2X/c/cf773bfe04219b6c0f81da7230d30eda64358d8b.jpeg) Full answer: > I did a few things, but I think my problem was that I had changed this setting the ‘Ctrl’, and thus ‘Ctrl’ key got reserved (see SS attached). > Also, I was trying to open diff speeddials thru KB shortcuts while sitting in the speed dial tab itself (earlier they did work this way also). But later I found (after changing the above said ‘Ctrl’ key setting to ‘Shift’ or to ‘Alt’) that even though my Speed Dial KB S Keys didn’t work from this tab, they worked (or started to work now) from all other tabs. ---

Alas! It (the addons shortcut keys) again stopped working (it had stopped working, and then started working ok nearly a month ago too). Now I even uninstalled both addons: [Group Speed Dial](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/groupspeeddial/) (latest v25) and [Ctrl + Number for Group Speed Dial](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ctrl_groupspeeddial/). My settings (lest they are somehow the culprit) are as below: ![image](https://www.bathindahelper.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/44a03f9ae15b756dc783a163a6ca7ea23a441c27.png) And from Ctrl+Number: ![image](https://www.bathindahelper.com/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d66988ccb2f315f1ab29e3bfdd813703be8097a9.png) This problem has surfaced just recently, perhaps after I upgraded/updated the extension(s) to V25.0 Now For me too. When I press a KB shortcut, it (FF) tries to flash (for a micro second) the same tab number of the browser, as the shortcut key I pressed. E.g. If I pressed Ctrl+4 then 4th tab in the FF Browser will flash for a tiny second but nothing will happen. And if I press higher number (e.g. Ctrl+9 or 0), then nothing visibly happens. ---
