My keyboard media hotkeys work on any window but Firefox, any way I can fix this?
I use iTunes and my media hotkeys on my keyboard work just fine except when Firefox is the active window for some reason. Even works in other browsers. Any ideas or maybe addons that will help?

What hot keys are you talking about?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.5
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.0
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape: Adobe Reader Version 2015.008.20082 Note: McAfee Security is offered in the download.
The media keys, like pause/play, stop, skip forward/backward etc.

Yes, still have the problem in safe mode.
What commands do these keys send to Firefox?
Not sure exactly what your looking for on these pages, but here is the media section.
The commands that the keyboard sends need to match the commands that Firefox recognizes to make it work.
How do you modify them then?
Such a special keyboard usually comes with a special driver where you can inspect and modify these special keys. You can check that in the Windows Control Panel.
