CTRL T not working if active content in window

If a window is open with a video or some other kind of interactive user content CTRL T will not work to open a new tab.
Is this normal?

If a plugin like flash has focus, all keystrokes will be sent to the plugin - So yes, this is normal.
I know it gets annoying sometimes that the browser doesn't respond because of this, but it can't be changed - you'll just have to remove focus from the plugin (e.g. by clicking on an area of the page outside of it) before you can send keys to the browser again.

Moon-
Thanks for your help.
If you are around, one more question:
Is this normal behavior for all Firefox software? Or is it just Pale Moon?

This is normal for all Mozilla software, and probably any other browser out there as well.
e.g.: you load a Flash platform game. The flash game gets focus because you want to play it - it uses the arrow keys and the space bar to move around and jump. Those keys are normally for other functions in the browser for navigation (space to scroll down a page, for example) but the browser won't respond to those keys when you are playing the game.
