+# Firefox Shortcuts Bug Fix - Test Guide
+
+## What Was Fixed
+
+**Problem:** Keyboard shortcuts didn't work when the video player wasn't in focus on Firefox.
+
+**Root Cause:** Too restrictive activeElement check that relied on DOM focus state instead of the event target.
+
+**Solution Applied:**
+1. Changed event listener check to prioritize `event.target` over `document.activeElement`
+2. Added document-level event listeners for better Firefox keyboard event capture
+3. Improved conditional logic to only block shortcuts when actually typing
+
+---
+
+## How to Test
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Firefox or Floorp browser
+- ImprovedTube extension loaded
+- YouTube video open
+
+### Test Steps
+
+1. **Open Extension Settings**
+   - Click ImprovedTube icon → Settings
+   - Go to: **Shortcuts** section
+
+2. **Configure Test Shortcuts**
+   - Set "Increase Volume" to `UP ARROW` key
+   - Set "Decrease Volume" to `DOWN ARROW` key
+   - Click Save
+
+3. **Test 1: Player Focused (Should work before and after fix)**
+   - Click on the video player
+   - Press `UP ARROW` → Volume should increase ✓
+   - Press `DOWN ARROW` → Volume should decrease ✓
+
+4. **Test 2: Player NOT Focused (This is the bug test) - CRITICAL TEST**
+   - Click anywhere on the page EXCEPT the player (e.g., click on comments area, sidebar, empty space)
+   - Press `UP ARROW` → Volume should increase (not page scroll!) ✓
+   - Press `DOWN ARROW` → Volume should decrease (not page scroll!) ✓
+   - The page should NOT scroll up/down
+
+5. **Test 3: Safety Check - Shortcuts should NOT work in input fields**
+   - Open the search box (click search field)
+   - Press `UP ARROW` → Should just type in search, NOT change volume ✓
+
+### Expected Results After Fix
+
+| Scenario | Expected Behavior | Status |
+|----------|------------------|--------|
+| Player focused + shortcut key | Shortcut executes | ✓ Should work |
+| Player NOT focused + shortcut key | Shortcut executes (BUG FIX) | ✓ Should work now |
+| In input field + shortcut key | Input receives key, no shortcut | ✓ Should work |
+| In search box + shortcut key | Search receives key, no shortcut | ✓ Should work |
+
+---
+
+## If It Still Doesn't Work
+
+If shortcuts still don't work when player is unfocused, try:
+
+1. **Clear Extension Cache**
+   - Go to `about:debugging` in Firefox
+   - Find ImprovedTube
+   - Click "Reload"
+
+2. **Hard Reload YouTube**
+   - Go to YouTube
+   - Press `Ctrl+Shift+R` (hard refresh)
+
+3. **Check Browser Console for Errors**
+   - Press `F12` to open Developer Tools
+   - Go to "Console" tab
+   - Look for any red error messages
+   - Report any errors in the GitHub issue
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Debugging (Optional)
+
+If you want to see if the fix is working, open Browser Console and run:
+
+```javascript
+// Check if keyboard listeners are attached
+console.log("ImprovedTube listeners:", ImprovedTube.input.listeners);
+
+// Check what shortcuts are active
+console.log("Active shortcuts:", Object.keys(ImprovedTube.input.listening));
+```
+
+You should see something like:
+```
+ImprovedTube listeners: {keydown: true, keyup: true, wheel: true, improvedtube-blur: true}
+Active shortcuts: ['shortcutIncreaseVolume', 'shortcutDecreaseVolume']
+```
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+This fix improves Firefox compatibility by:
+- ✅ Using event.target instead of document.activeElement for key checking
+- ✅ Adding document-level listeners for keyboard events
+- ✅ Better handling of YouTube's shadow DOM and complex structure
+- ✅ Preventing accidental focus-based shortcut blocking
+
+**Browser Support:** Chrome ✓ | Firefox ✓ (after fix) | Firefox Variants (Floorp, Librewolf, etc.) ✓
