Control and Alt keybindings broken recently #2995

Since a few days now I noticed that some keybinding combinations with Ctrl and Alt became broken. As an example my config binds f (without modifier) to scroll up and I have also unmap <c-f> in my config so that c-f activates Firefox's own search. This worked until recently but now when I hit c-f I get scroll up...

Same e.g. for c-a executes my a keybinding rather then selecting text.

I remember having a similar issue some years back while still on vimium+Chrome...

Thank you!

Recent version of Firefox cause the problem, other vim plugins have the same issue.

It looks like newest version solves the problem.

Is there any work-around for this? It still seems to be an issue in Firefox 61 and is incredibly annoying. Any upstream bug report? The biggest usability issue for me is not being able to access the menus (alt-T, alt-H, etc.) reliably. Thankfully Alt-E still seems to work, from which point I can navigate to the other menu items...

We need a FF user to look into this and figure out what's going on.
