Don't make me type the combination Alt + 60 or I will switch because of this, it's killing me, I am revisiting and typing a lot of code..

Turns out it's not Firefox browser fault at all, it's actually implemented in the codecademy website, the main problem being keyboard language, guess I'll have to bash THEM instead of innocent Firefox.

Thanks for trying to help, the shortkeys addon seems very helpful though, just couldn't see past anything else but the "browser" instead of doing more research because I was overwhelmed by fury.

Thanks again

Hi it is what it is as they are baked in extensions do not have same permissions as before to make changes to Firefox functions : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly

Can try : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shortkeys/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Not sure if you know about this site is useful quick look up for HTML https://www.w3schools.com/ This is cool, an other one like it but can not remember the name : https://fontawesome.com/?from=io

I paid for the link off this site and downloaded every template. I am terrible at CSS but can hack the HTML in the templates. https://html5up.net/

G'luck with your coding.
