In Ubuntu (14.04) I find that the Firefox shortcut for downloads Ctrl+J doesn't work.
Pressing Ctrl+J always takes me to the Firefox default home page (the one with the big Firefox logo in the middle and the search box underneath).
Other shortcuts such as Ctrl+Shft+A or Ctrl+H, Ctrl+B, etc. work just fine. I find this very odd. It's been the case since the clean install, i.e. it can't be due to another application.
Why could this be happening? How can I resolve this, without getting a external plugin?

It is possible, that your Firefox uses another shortcut. You should see the correct shortcut in the menu bar (for example in my browser "Tools" -> "Downloads Ctrl-Shift-Y").
There are cases when Ctrl-J is assigned another function, e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546380
