OS X allows users to assign shortcut keys to arbitrary menu items. I'm trying to add an application shortcut to firefox to show/hide the bookmarks toolbar (in my case, I'd like to use cmd-ctrl-L, but I've tried others too), however the shortcut key doesn't work. I can see the menu item flash as if the OS is trying to activate it, but the bookmarks toolbar doesn't toggle. Manually clicking the menu item does work.

Any ideas? Is this a known bug? Am I missing something obvious?

Okay, so I found an addon that does the trick, Hide BookmarksBar. Still, it seems odd that this doesn't work.

Nope. Haven't solved it, and I'm convinced I can't from this end. The only thing helping me is the extension I mentioned above, but that fix is very specific to showing/hiding the bookmark bar.
