Firefox not recognizing that Number Lock is on

For a long time, while the Number Lock light is "on" on my keyboard, Firefox does not recognize that it's on. This should be a basic binary. 0=0, 1=1. 1 should never equal 0.

I have to got into another program and type numbers there to get it to work. But it doesn't last. I hate it when I'm trying to do something quick and I have to fight with something that I should NEVER have to fight with.

How to I get Firefox to ALWAYS recognize that Number Lock is on when it is on?

Firefox browser recognizes keyboard functions given to it by the OS and if Firefox hotkeys are changed then it's not the Firefox that changed it. Also maybe check that your keyboard is working as well and is the standard keyboard configuration as well.

That told me nothing. I never changed my keyboard configuration. The Number Lock is the only think that is affected, and only in Firefox. Microsoft Word - still get numbers when Number Lock is on Notepad - still get numbers when Number Lock is on Firefox - can't always get numbers when Number Lock is on.

Did you try to press the Num Lock key a few times to see if that makes Firefox recognize its current state?

Reboot the computer into Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
