User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.71 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Created a custom keymap using the Ukelele application to add the # key for simpler use on UK keyboard.

Installed keymap using application and selected keymap from Mac Keyboard settings.


Actual results:

Works perfectly with all applications except Firefox (and other XUL apps) where cmd key operations such as Cmd-F fail to work. 




Expected results:

Cmd-F should work as expected regardless of the keymap installed.

Note that this bug has also been discussed (five years ago!) on the Ukelele forum:
