Hi everybody,

I just had to reinstall Windows and therefore also Firefox. Now all of the sudden the Alt + D Shortcut for switching to the address bar is not working anymore. Can someone help me and explain what the hell happened? I use the exact same add ons and connect to Firefox Sync again.

Thank you!!

Somebody else posted the same question a few hours ago .....

Does Ctrl + L still work  ? (should do the same as Alt + D)

It could be that an add-on is using the shortcut - would you try Firefox in Safe Mode :
