Description

Describe the bug

  • press G to scroll to bottom of page ⇔ No action
  • press gg to scroll to top of page ⇔ No action
  • press d to scroll to down page ⇔ No action
  • press f for open link in current tab ⇔ No action
  • press F for open link in new tab ⇔ No action
  • press / for search ⇔ No action

Note; was totally/fully functional a few hours ago, so some auto-update seems to have broken things.

I've also tried closing, and reopening, the web-browser; no joy.

I've also tried disabling, and re-enabling, extension; no joy.

I've also tried uninstalling, and re-installing; no joy.

To Reproduce

  1. Install Tor browser
  2. Install extension through Mozilla dot Org site
  3. Go to URL 'https://duckduckgo.com/', or 'https://google.com', or really anywhere
