When I signed in I pressed R to remember my passwords but it did not trigger the remember button. I then had to move my mouse to click the button where the R key was highlighted suggesting I could press the R key as I already had.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Sign in some place that Firefox will ask you to save your password such as this website...
2. Sign in...
3. Press R to remember your password.
Actual Results:  
Pressing R does nothing.

Expected Results:  
Pressing R saves your password.

There's an access key on the button. For Windows/en-US, it should be Control-R (or maybe Alt-R? I'm on OS X at the moment, where Control-R works).

Bug 395096 deals with a related issue.
