<p>Here in the screenshot I'm pressing the percent and underscore hash keys, but the debugger is on for some reason. This must be a glitch on Firefox's end, because the keys to open to debugger is Control + Shift + K NOT EITHER/OR Shift + 5 OR Shift + underscore

<p>No. My keyboard works fine and it set up correctly. This problem only occurs when I'm on the Firefox browser not the other browsers, Chrome, Egde, etc. My keyboard is not jammed either.

<p><strong>Before Firefox 68, so the previous update this started. It's continued with the newest update.</strong> I haven't had this problem before when using Firefox and I'm not sure if I can edit the keyboard shortcuts to prevent this. It's really annoying to use, to be honest. I can't use the underscore without developer tools opening up.

Do you have any hotkey software running outside of Firefox that might change Shift+_ into something else? (Or maybe there's something in Windows 10.)

<p>No, I don't have any any hotkey software running outside of Firefox that might change Shift+. Also, it's not site specific, it happens everywhere.

<p>I tried running the same test on Chrome and Microsoft Egde, but the Developer Console/Tool does not open when I press that key command, only on Firefox.
