When no FireFox windows are currently open and an external hyperlink, specifically those opened with Evince, is used then the created window freezes the keyboard. New tabs as well as new opened windows experience the same issue as long as the original window is still open. Windows key + F9 and Windows key + Shift have no effect. Some of the Ctrl functions still work in the window/s and the keyboard freeze is only localized to FireFox.
