If a tab is open and any flash object is highlighted, Shortcuts such as Ctrl T do not work because the flash object is monitoring the keyboard.

How can I prevent this behavior? I wish firefox KB shortcuts to have primacy.

If a plugin like Flash has focus then you need to use the mouse to set focus to an element outside that Flash object. There is currently no way to do that with the keyboard.

See Bug 93149 – No way to move focus between plugin and browser from keyboard
