User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 SeaMonkey/2.39
Build ID: 20151103191810

Steps to reproduce:

Please see attached bugReport.html

Load this file. Read content and follow the instructions:
Click Ctrl+Shift+A
Comment out the line:
//disabled.accessKey = "A";
Again, Ctrl+Shift+A


Actual results:

In first case (unmodified file), nothing happens.
When a line is commented out, alert shows 'Second button: working!'



Expected results:

The button click event should be invoked in all cases.

First button is disabled, hidden or collapsed, and not even displayed:
disabled.style.display = "none";

When an access key ('A') is set, the same access key should operate on second (visible enabled) button -- because the button "disabled" does not use it at the moment.
