Hi, after Firefox update 14.0.1 accessKey do not works. On Mac OS X Snow Leopard shortcut (ctrl+"KEY) do not work at all. Is there a bug? On Windows there is no problem after update (Alt+Shift+"KEY") works fine.

OK i found it: The accesKey was changed to Webkit standard: (ctrl+option+"KEY"). This works, but it is a pitty that (ctrl+"KEY") do not wor anymore. It was the only Browser with such simple shortcuts...

Unfortunately now this doesn't work if you are inside a text area.

I suggest the change back the default setting for access key on MAC:

source: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.contentAccess

Type In Firefox address field and press enter about:config

search for: ui.key.contentAccess

Take the value "2" (for default MAC OS X - ctrl+Access Key)

Thats it!
