What happened to the context menu
Firefox auto updated, could have sworn I turned that off, and suddenly my context menu has arrows in it. Why are there arrows in my context menu and how do I make them go away? I right click and use my keyboard for 99% of what I do in my browser so right click + b not working is completely unacceptable. I want my text menu back.

Thank you I was about to install Chrome or start using IE because of this...
I spoke too soon. While this does return the text menus, it doesn't specify the keyboard shortcut. So I see the work back, but I can't just hit b to go back.

I really hoped 33 would rectify this problem. It didn't. Seriously, how hard is it to put back functionality that has been in EVERY version of the browser for a decade?
How about using Alt with the left arrow key to "go back"?
Or they could put back functionality that has always been there. It's like they turned into Microsoft or Apple. Firefox thinks something is a good idea so they make the change without checking with the user base to see if anyone actually wants it.

Has anyone filed a bug requesting that the accelerators be restored (hidden or visible)?
I did when 32 dropped. As we can see, did a whole lot of good. I submitted feedback again, expecting the same response.
One user filing a Bug report or providing feedback doesn't revert a changed feature; and even if Mozilla decided to change something like that back to what it used to be, the change wouldn't happen overnight.

Hmm, okay, I guess hidden accesskeys could lead to conflicts with new menu items, or unpleasant surprises.
