XMBC 2.6.2 - Invalid virtual keycode in Firefox

Hello.
I tried to install XMBC 2.6.2, and it doesn't work well in Firefox 24.0.
I have a 5-button HID-compatible mouse ("HP 5-Button Optical Comfort Mouse"), with buttons 4 and 5 mapped to "Copy (Ctrl+C)" and "Paste (Ctrl+V)" respectively. When I start Firefox, everything works fine, but after some time it stops working, and buttons 4 and 5 clicks are just ignored. It the log there are messages "Invalid virtual keycode sent to SendKeyState: 0xFFFFFFFF function 0x0002" seemingly related to the problem.
In other applications everything works as expected.
XMBC 2.5 also works fine.
Here is the log:
********************************************************************************

Hi,
I'm using Firefox v24 (well actually I'm using the 64bit port waterfox v24 but its the same thing pretty much).
I will have a look - its not something I have noticed here. One useful piece of info... What language & keyboard layout do you have installed? If not English, does it work with an English keyboard selected?
So far most problems seem to be related to the keyboard layout, especially when its key injection related.
Thanks,
Phil

Oh, that didn't come to my mind!
You are right, everything works fine when I use English layout, and stops working whenever I switch to Russian (the default "Russian-Russia" layout).

Hi,
I've been facing the exact same problems with Chrome. I don't know if it's language related, I reinstalled 2.6.2 several times and sometimes this solved the problem temporaly, but eventually the key pressing emulation will be ignored again. Version 2.5 works just fine as ever, so there's something definitely wrong with 2.6.2.

OK there are oo many reports - Im going to have to fine some time somewhere to look at this.
Still the more info the better - what language/keyboard layout do you use?

Please can you try
2.7 Beta 1?
I have made a couple of changes that I hope will fix this problem but if not, I have also added more logging, so even if the problem is still there the log might give me more of a clue as to why there is a problem.
If the problem is still there, can you please post the log again from 2.7b1.
Thanks,
Phil

My problem is very similar, but not exact, I think. My shortcut CTRL+W doesn't work at all, no mater when XBMC or Firefox started. There's only one effect of using it: if text field in FF is active, then W letter appears every time the key pressed.
I'm using Polish keyboard layout.
Current beta version works fine. Thanks

Thanks for a great product! Well, I've got same problems in Firefox 27.0.1 PL on Win7 x86 with Polish keyboard. I had problems with CTRL, ALT, WIN etc. After switching to 2.7b8 it's all fine. Thanks again

Good news 0 thanks for letting me know.
I think when I return from my holiday I will have to get 2.7 out to fix all these 2.6.2 issues ASAP
Thanks,
Phil
