Description

Any thoughts on this? With vimium installed it's not possible to change tabs. It works with regular FF, not LibreFox.

PS! This does not apply to ctrl+t (new tabs), but once actual webpages are opened in new tabs (loaded urls), switching between them with ctrl+# is no longer possible

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the tab-switching failure with Vimium installed in LibreWolf after loading webpages, and compare it with regular Firefox; done means switching loaded tabs with the reported shortcut works without affecting new-tab creation.
