Keyboard not working when Firefox opens from a link

Hello Firefox community, I'm having a problem where, when I click a link (in a pdf, specifically), Firefox opens like usual but for some reason, my keyboard gets disabled. I can click and navigate through pages that way, but I cannot type anything in the search bar, nor in programs (such as Drive). Does anybody know what I can do to fix this?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I don't have control over how Firefox opens automatically when I click a link in a pdf (saved to my laptop, not online), so I don't have a chance to start the browser in Safemode. When I start firefox normally, I don't experience any problems.
