What is not working ?
Sending key from key shortcut should work, all detection selection.... could be more problematic !

If this is just for macros, and not other hot keys, also try using macro2 keyword instead of macro.

Yes, I had this problem with firefox when they first did some major work on their UI a year or two ago. It interfered with PPro hot keys due to its own incorrect processing of Windows hooks, I think (since hot keys work fine in all other applications AFAIK)..

You can try changing the key intercept method in ppro on key setup dialog.which may or may not help Use new ll hook 2 (separate thread). Also change the mouse hook intercept if you use mouse hot keys


But I uninstalled firefox and switched to Chrome to fix the issue for me.


Nothing I an do about it in PPro I am afraid.

One other thing that might work is restarting PPro every time your start Firefox. But even if this does work, it is obviously pretty inconvenient.

If it does happen to work for you, to make restarting less inconvenient you can use a ppro command to restart PPro with this command


Command Entry and Parameters,
Shutdown
Powerpro
noconfirm


More Commands:
cmd /k ping -n 4 127.0.0.1 > nul && start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerPro\Powerpro.exe" C:\Users\yourid\AppData\Roaming\PowerPro\pproconf.pcf && exit



(above cmd is all one line)
I suppose you could combine this with a command to start firefox before the shutdown powerpro command (which would move to more commands in that case). Replace the paths to the exe and the pcf by the ones on your machine.

Yes Keys commands in Macros not working.
In the "Key/Mouse" tab replaced *Macro MyMacros with *Macro2 MyMacros but giving an error "No or invalid command for this section".
Finally tried "new ll hook 2 (separate thread)." and its working. thanks everybody.
