Ctrl+L opens adress bar instead of Line of sight

When trying to check line of sight it now opens up the adress bar in firefox instead of showing me line of sight.
When this has happened to me, it's always turned out that I had neither dynamic lighting nor fog of war turned on for the page in question. Could that be the case here? If not, try running the game in a private window to see if the problem is due to some extension conflict.

Nope, I also double checked on another map.

It doesn't happen in Chrome though.

I primarily use Firefox (currently 91.0.2), and I can't replicate this behavior.  Control + L gives me the view from the token that is selected.  Are you using any browser extensions?  It might be worth trying this in a private window to see if the problem goes away there.

I'm using the same version of firefox and the problem still happens when opening it in a private window. I don't have any extensions at all on firefox. Check this video of me trying to show what happens: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kodaTpHMZs0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kodaTpHMZs0</a>

And you have verified that Dynamic Lighting is active on the page you are viewing? Not just that the token has vision turned on?

Look here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kodaTpHMZs0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kodaTpHMZs0</a> Dynamic Lighting is on as you can see when I'm moving the token.

Yeah, it's definitely on. Sorry for being so nitpicky, but since the others in the thread can't reproduce this locally, I'm looking to cover every possibility. So in that vein: the tokens you are testing with have sight turned on, and are not just emitting light? Also, what's your version of FF? It might be an update behavior.

From previous comments, it's the current version of Firefox (91.0.2). I have the same version of FF. So far, I have only been able to replicate the behavior on a page where both dynamic lighting and fog of war have been disabled. On a page with either lighting or fog of war enabled, even testing a token without sight simply gives a black screen, rather than the address bar focus. I'm reaching here ... is there a situation where the legacy and updated lighting systems are mixed? Those have never played well with one another. Does this happen in a fresh game?

TLDW: Same problem

Thanks for the videos. Oof! This looks really frustrating. I wonder what's causing this behavior, and if anyone else is experiencing it. It might be worthwhile at this point to get a ticket started by making a Help Center request. Edit: And, please, when you figure it out, let us know, so we can all help other people in your situation.

It's super frustrating and it seems it has come out of nowhere.

Just realized that no shortcuts works in Firefox for Roll20. ctrl+m just mutes the tab instead of jumping to the map layer. I can't even copy paste a token with ctrl+c/v. Definetly related to the line of sight thing. It seems the browser completly disregards all keyboard shortcuts for Roll20.

I am not able to duplicate that behavior either.&nbsp; Control + M takes me to the map layer and Control + O takes me back to the object layer.&nbsp; Control +C/V do copy/paste tokens for me. I hope you are getting console errors when you try to do those things.&nbsp; Otherwise, I can't imagine how the devs could track down what might be causing this for you.&nbsp;

I HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM! Turns out that my firefox had the default setting of BLOCKING shortcuts on sites. Why this been made default is super weird but here's the video where I go through the problem and fix:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKyZqDB68eI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKyZqDB68eI</a> &nbsp;(Still low quality but should be ok soon) EDIT: (Might be it's because I use a swedish firefox, but I think that's a reach)
Yay! Thank you so much for posting the solution. I'm glad your games are working again.

Excellent. Echoing Sara Rebecca Cohen, thank you for sharing the solution! That will help anybody who comes around with a similar problem.
