Hitting Escape multiple times reloads tabs, closes them and opens new ones!? WTF?
Hey folks,
I hope you can help me.
If I press the Escape key three times, it obscures the screen for a second and then rebuilds the frame, so I guess it reloads the page? The attached picture shows my Youtube start page - as you can see, it's just the frame itself but not the scroll bar, so it's about the page, not the whole firefox window itself.
If I press Escape four times, firefox closes the current tab and opens a new one with my start page loaded.
What the Eff is happening here? That can't be a feature, can it? Has anybody experienced anything similar and can point me in the right direction?
Much appreciated

The image upload didn't work, sorry for that. You wouldn't see anything anyways though, as it's just a very, very blurred picture of my YT overview/startpage in fullscreen mode. Only thing sharp in the picture is the scroll bar on the right.

These are the the browser keyboard shortcuts. Don't see anything in relation to pressing 3x tab key.
That's the exact problem. I can't find anything about this function either. I haven't installed any addons that change keyboard shortcuts either, so I'm at a loss here =/
/edit: well, I trusted firefox's addons page when it told me my addons don't have any shortcuts. As soon as I deactivate the startpage.com privacy addon, this "feature" is gone. Guess I blamed firefox/Mozilla prematurely. I'll head over there to investigate further...

You're welcome, and I'm sorry for wasting you folks' time by not researching properly first.
No problem at all - we learned something as well.
