Topic: F5 Disabled in Firefox?

I uploaded a gallery a few minutes ago to my web host. In testing with it, I noticed that the F5 function key seems to be disabled while on that page (but not on other sites, on other open tabs). The equivalent Refresh button works okay on my gallery page, however, so I wonder whether this is a quirk of HTML5, Juicebox, or - the only remaining possibility - I have a personal problem with my configurations, add-ons, etc., in Firefox (the latest version).

Regards,

Bill

Re: F5 Disabled in Firefox?

This is due to the default setting of enableKeyboardControls="TRUE".
If you click on the browser's address bar (to take focus away from the gallery), the F5 key becomes active again.
If you set enableKeyboardControls="FALSE", then the F5 key is active, even when the user has been clicking in the gallery area.
I will try to find out whether the F5 key can remain active for both values of enableKeyboardControls in a future version.

Steven,

Thanks for your explanation. I think having both enabled would be a good idea.
