Firefox for macOS opens right-click menu when pressing control+return

I recently reloaded my M1 MacBook Air with macOS Sequoia. Ever since doing so, Firefox opens the right-click menu every time I press Control+Return (like when attempting to autocomplete a URL ending in .com, a feature I use quite frequently). It is only in Firefox that this happens, no other browser or program is doing this. I have uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner, downloaded a new copy of Firefox 131.0 and reinstalled without any change in this behavior. Any ideas on what I can do to stop this so Control+Return only autocompletes a URL again?

I figured it out. For some reason in System Settings there was a keyboard shortcut set to open the context menu when pressing control+return. Only Firefox was actually paying attention to that setting, even Finder wasn't opening that menu even though it is a system wide shortcut. Unchecking that box took care of it.
