Description
### Site
phanpy.social
### Version
2025.04.28.5849b4d
### Instance
techpolicy.social
### Browser
- Firefox 134 on macOS
### Bug description
I frequently accidentally "like" a toot as I'm leaving phanpy, because I use Command-L to switch to the location bar on my browser to type in a different URL, and that is triggering the 'L' command to send a like.
### To reproduce
1. Interact with any toot (like opening a CW)
2. Hit Command-L
### Expected behavior
Key chords that execute browser commands shouldn't also trigger the keyboard shortcuts. (Maybe actions that remove keyboard focus shouldn't trigger?)
### Other
Maybe this is a browser bug? (That is, if it's impossible for the application to distinguish these cases.) If so, let me know and I'll help file the issue there instead.

Research direction
Reproduce the shortcut in Firefox 134 on macOS using the steps in the report, then locate the application's keyboard-shortcut handling entry point; no file or test is named in the issue. Done means Command-L switches to the browser location bar without triggering the application's like shortcut, while ordinary shortcut use still works.
