Webpage application grabs keyboard focus from Firefox, CTRL-T won't work

[Sean Carolan]

Ok, so I'm a heavy keyboard shortcut user.  Call it lazy intelligence,
the path of least resistance, or whatever.  If there's a way to do it
without moving my hand off the keyboard and over to the mouse I want
to know about it.

I have found that certain "rich media" type websites that contain
java, flash, javascript, activex, etc. seem to block one of my
favorite browser shortcuts, CTRL-T.  Although this may seem like a
minor thing, it annoys me to no end.  I have to click on the title bar
to get the browser to recognize the CTRL-T command which totally
breaks the flow and disrupts the harmony in my universe.

Does anyone have a clue how to prevent this from happening, short of
disabling javascript and flash?

1.  Visit pandora.com in Mozilla Firefox (or other sites with fancy
embedded control panels and widgets)
2.  Try to CTRL-T to open a new tab
3.  Become frustrated
