Firefox 79.0a1 20200613093747 on Windows 8.1
Both the installer and the uninstaller don't show accesskeys by default. While pressing the Alt key turn them on, the Tab key doesn't. In my opinion they should be shown by default. The uninstaller has 4 accessible elements now (Learn More link, Refresh Firefox button, Continue and Cancel buttons) with Continue being the default but the goal to get people to use Refresh Firefox, I assume.

It's not clear to me what level the accesskeys are managed at -- it's very possible this is "passed through" to the Win32 dialog controls directly.
mhowell, can you comment on the two issues, namely the Tab key and displaying by default?

Yeah, we don't do anything to manage those except telling the controls which letter to use, the rest is all the Windows dialog manager's and the controls' default and expected behavior. There's a window message that indicates it may be able to override this, but I've never tried using it.
I did just find one interesting thing about this that I'm writing down here mostly so I don't forget it. If you answer the UAC prompt (either way) using the keyboard, then our dialog does open with the accelerators displayed. I have no idea how that works.
