Title:
  Cannot use firefox keyboard shortcuts when flash object is selected

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

  Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) or Quit (using Ctrl-q) or
  switch to next tab (using Ctrl-Tab) when flash content is selected on
  page.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Open a new Tab
  2) Go to a website with flash content (in this case youtube.com)
  3) Selected the flash content by clicking on it (in this case click on play)
  4) While the content plays, press a keyboard shortcut (in this case Ctrl-w to close the tab)

  Result: The shortcut is not registered by firefox, the tab remains open
  Expectation: The shortcut should be registered by firefox, the tab should close

  A good way of knowing that "selecting the flash content" is at the
  root of the problem: if you select a part of the page that is not
  flash content (in this case empty white space at the right or the left
  of the video) followed by Ctrl-W, the tab closes.

  Version Information:
  Ubuntu Hardy (2.6.24-19-generic)
  firefox 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
  flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.124.0ubuntu2
