Why don't keyboard shortcuts work on alternet.org?

Which keyboard shortcuts are you referring to?
ctrl + f4
Is this the first and only tab or does this also happen if there are more tabs open and this page isn't the first tab?
Can you close this tab via other ways like Ctrl+W or via the right-click context menu?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

This happens whether it's the only tab open or not. The only way to close it is to actually hit the close button or right click on the context menu.
If a plugin has focus or a script is running that intercept key presses then those shortcuts may not be working.
Did you try to click elsewhere on the web page or in the user interface to switch the focus?
The shortcuts work in safe mode. What does that indicate?
Now this is really bizarre. After I closed FF in safe mode and re-started in normal mode, the shortcuts are working on that site ????
Well, the Firefox SafeMode sometimes has mysterious cure properties, as strange as that may seem. I have heard of that happening a couple times a year, at least.
alternet.org has frozen their entire site including 'contact us'
keyboard shortcuts of any sort will not work on their site. you cannot copy anything off their site.
presently (sept8/2013) they are running a fund drive and this page is open to keyboard shortcuts--- it is not locked because otherwise you could not contribute.
for such uppityness, you should NOT contribute.
