When I have Firefox open, even if I'm using another program, when I press AltGr + F Firefox opens. This prevents me from using open square brackets. How can I stop this from happening?

Using Windows 10.

I think that a hidden Shortcut file was hiding somewhere and preventing me from fixing the problem. So I reinstalled Firefox and it seems to be functioning normally now.

This is not about a shortcut in Firefox, but about a Windows shortcut that opens Firefox unexpectedly.

Do you have a shortcut like "Alt+Ctrl+F" set to open Firefox as "Alt+Ctrl" is a shortcut for AltGr ?

No, I do not, but I had one set to Alt + Ctrl + H. I removed it, hoping that doing so would solve the problem.
