Player-View Mode + Firefox Issue

Hi all! So the Command+L shortcut to view the map as if you were a player of the selected token is a wonderful feature. However, for some reason when using Firefox, this shortcut just opens up my recent URL history/expands the web browse/search bar. It also seems slightly inconsistent - it worked fine a couple of times, but then went back to doing this instead. Refreshing the page didn't seem to help. Anyone else had this problem or know how I can fix it? Is there a macro button I could set up that would allow me to do the same thing to test my dynamic lighting? Screenshot showing the token is selected, its on the token layer, and what happens when I try to use the command+L shortcut. It's important to mention I am on a Mac, but have only had this problem with Firefox and only recently.
Doublecheck that you have dynamic lighting activated for the page. I know that sounds a bit condescending but it happens to all of us from time to time and if it is not active you will always get this response.

Roll20 rolled out an update to Dynamic Lighting that changed the way Ctrl-L was used by Roll20. Many users (including the Roll20 devs) did not know that Ctrl-L would work with regular Fog of War. The change inadvertently broke this "hidden" functionality. To fix it, turn on Dynamic Lighting on a page. Roll20 is looking into this to see if they can address it and restore the functionality. Edit: Without Roll20 intercepting the Ctrl-L command it reverts to the default browser response to Ctrl-L which is to highlight the Location Bar (L for Location).
