There is an specific group for Thunderbird, so I added that group.

I had trouble with "F3" and "end" not working a day or two ago. Then I 
remembered I had been blowing dust out of the keyboard with a powerful 
electric air blower. Now they are working, after pressing hard those two 
keys for a bit. However, you say the problem is only in TB and maybe in FFx.

I would suggest restarting TB in safe mode, all the addons disabled, if any.
