50.0b9 (just downloaded, Sunday morning Oct 23).

Command-comma does not open the preferences panel.  Selecting the preferences panel from the menu does open it.
I assume command-comma is a common shortcut for preferences on Mac? Has this previously worked in Firefox?

Yes and yes.

On Mac, in the application menu, there is a choice for preferences, and the hotkey is command-comma.  This is standard.

It currently works in Developer Edition.  I expect it has previously worked on Mac in general, because I use it frequently, and was surprised when it did not work.  Very likely a regression.

FWIW, Not fixed in Beta 10.
This works for me with 50.0b11 on Mac OS X 10.11.6. I launched Firefox and pressed Cmd+, and Preferences opened.

Lars, do you have any extensions installed? Does starting Firefox in safe mode helps?
Btw, is there a Preferences menuitem in the Firefox menu and (if it is) can you open Preferences by selecting it?

Oops, sorry - reading comment #0 I guess there is one and it works...
Still does not work for me in beta 11, Mac OS X 10.11.6.

I have some extensions installed:

- adb helper
- adblock plus
- duplicate tab
- firefox os 2.0 simulator
- link sidebar
- tab groups

Restarting in safe mode does indeed make it work.

Worse than that: after restarting in safe mode and then returning to normal mode, the problem is gone, so I can't diagnose further.
