Opening tab in Firefox when pdf in active window

I have one funny little problem: when a .pdf document is open in Firefox I cannot open a new tab (as I normally do by CTRL+T) - as long as that pdf is the active window. Not sure if I should blame it on Firefox or Acrobat Reader?

Probably on Reader. The plugin "captures" the keyboard input and so these built-in shortcuts are disabled. There's nothing to do about it, I'm afraid.
