keyboard shortcuts not working in an empty group

There are specificies how Firefox Add-Ons work. These can't track shortcuts for non web pages - empty pages or pages representing Firefox chrome or web extension.

You mentioned that loaded empty group and empty page. As page is empty - add-ons shortcuts does not work. Try to open any web page and use shortcut. If it works then it is your case and you can close this issue.

Got it, didn't know that, thanks for your explanations.
Indeed if I open any web page, shortcuts come back to life.

It's a bit of a shame when using "next/previous" shortcuts to cycle through groups, because landing in an "empty" group disrupts the keyboard navigation.
And actually, I saw there are shortcut actions to "go to next/previous not empty group" (sorry if the phrasing isn't correct, I'm using French UI), but these don't seem to prevent landing in a group with just a "blank" tab (obviously not detected as empty).

Maybe this could be improved, and the plug-in could consider a group with just an empty tab as empty too ?
Because as soon as you display an empty (strictly) group, FF opens an empty tab, so it's no more detected as empty.

if you set the bind in the firefox add-ons manager then itll work on the empty tabs and tell you if youre trying to overwrite other binds. apparently?
