I have a similar problem with Firefox 19.0.2. After some time of use (multiple hours, tens of tabs opened) where everything is fine, suddently keyboard input doesn't work anymore: all input is redirected to the previously selected window (gnome-terminal windows in my case as this is mostly what I use) and Mouse still works fine and Firefox is responsive. I had this problem 3 or 4 times in the last month (this is my work environment), and this is almost the only reason I have to restart Firefox (I'm using hibernate mode out of work hours, so my Firefox session may last more than 7 days with tens of tabs). I remember having this issue previously with previous versions of Firefox, but not so frequently.
Is it a Firefox bug? A window manager bug? Please tell me what investigation I could do next time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31852 Title: firefox 1.5.0.1 does not receive any keyboard input ...
