The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Menus' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

I'm changing the component to a more appropriate one in order to get this enhancement looked at by the right devs.

Thank you for your contribution!

So YOU are the reason the "a" key doesn't work in Firefox 88b2 anymore on links to copy their location. Because there is no "a" in the "Copy link" sentence.

I'm not happy about this change at all! Not to mention the "l" key is on the right side. So this is definitely gonna be uncomfortable for all right-handed people.
Can we do something about this? I'm not happy when someone changes what my keys does, imagine someone switches your volume buttons on your phone with software update just because the label would look better.

No he or she isn't. This feels like an attack. See also bug 1700418.

Its crazy that this was just changed - people use this shortcut all the time - I vote for a revert

Voting for making "a" key as shortcut for copy link.

Vote for revert to "A", or a configurable value in about:config.
