keyup event: ALT + key not working properly
This used to work, but now it doesn't. On both windows 7 and 10 x64 with Firefox Quantum.
Try this: press ALT + w keys. You should press ALT, then w. Don't release ALT and keep pressing and releasing w. Now, when you want to stop release ALT (usually you release ALT after releasing w or at the same time).
It's like doing ALT + TAB on windows.
Right now nothing happens, but before upon releasing ALT I was able to capture the moment when ALT key was released.
The only way I can capture the release of ALT is if while pressing w, I release ALT first.
What I want is: press ALT and keep it that way, press w and release it, then release ALT. the message "combitation stop" should appear (in fiddle)
Here is a fiddle to test jQuery: https://jsfiddle.net/e4berr36/1/ Vanilla JS: https://jsfiddle.net/e4berr36/9/
I'm expecting the same behaviour as if SHIFT is pressed, see: https://jsfiddle.net/e4berr36/10/

First, did you make sure that the Firefox window had focus?
Let’s do a full clean re-install;
Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
Save the file. Then Close Firefox.
Using your file browser, open the Programs Folder on your computer.
Windows: C:\Program Files C:\Program Files (x86)
Mac: Open the "Applications" folder. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-download-and-install-firefox-mac
Linux: Check your user manual. If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it. See Install Firefox on Linux; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder Firefox in your home directory. http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Look for, and remove any Mozilla or Firefox program folders. Do not remove the Mozilla Thunderbird folder if there is one.
Do Not remove the profiles folder.
After rebooting the computer, run a registry scanner if you have one. Then run the installer. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If there is a problem, start your Computer in safe mode and try again.

Yes, firefox window has focus.
I did what you've suggested but this is still happening to me.
Were you able to reproduce the issue? A coworker just tested it and this happened to him too
On my v54, <Alt> W does nothing. Were you trying to open a new window? <Control> N
You have to use the combination in the fiddle I provided
Pressing ALT + w should output "combination detected" Releasing the combination the way I explained should output "combination stop"
I'm about to post result of test cases in different platforms
Test cases...
me: w7/w10 x64 Firefox Quantum 58.0.2 x64 NOT WORKING coworker 1: w10 x64 Firefox Quantum 58.0.2 x64 NOT WORKING coworker 2: ubuntu 16.4 x64 Firefox Quantum 58.0.2 x64 WORKING AS EXPECTED coworker 3: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 Firefox Quantum 58.0.2 x64 WORKING AS EXPECTED
I called for more help.
any news on this?
As far as I can tell, Alt behaves differently because it is the key that activates the menu bar. When you tap and release Alt, the document records keydown only, and the menu bar is activated. Focus has left the document. When you tap and release Alt again, focus leaves the menu bar and returns to the document, and a keyup event is recorded.

(Note: tested in Firefox 58)
But this used to work...
Something is happening in FF for Windows. (Linux and Mac are working just fine)

I have a theory. When I test in the Extended Support Release of Firefox 52:
about:support => Multiprocess Windows 1/1 (Enabled by default)
press alt + W keydown fired: Alt keydown fired: w combitation detected keyup fired: w
about:support => Multiprocess Windows 0/1 (Disabled)
press alt + W keydown fired: Alt keydown fired: w combitation detected keyup fired: w keyup fired: Alt combitation stop
Were your previous tests with multiprocess disabled? In Firefox 58+ (possibly Firefox 57+) you can no longer disable multiprocess.
If you think the old behavior should be somehow replicated on multiprocess, if that is possible, you can file a bug report or see whether someone has done that already: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

I don't think Alt has the same significance on Linux and Mac applications due to their use of a persistent menu bar.

@jscher2000 maybe you have something here!
I don't know if I had multiprocess disabled, but if this is something that changed in recent versions maybe that's whats causing the issue.
I will report the bug and see what happens
Please provide the bug report number.
Well done.
