This may be general to all pop-up boxes. It's been a steadily increasing
irritation. The cookie popup has three buttons, each with a keyboard
accellerator under one letter, but none of the letters actually functions. Even
clicking on the pop-up won't bring it into proper focus, however, clicking on
one of the buttons but dragging off before letting go will "activate" them.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. Turn on "ask for each cookie"
1. Access site that gives a cookie
2. Try to clear box with one of the underlined letters

Actual Results:  
Nuthin'

Expected Results:  
Accept the command.
WFM with Alt+A.  I wonder why it doesn't work pressing A with Alt.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
WFM with Alt+A.  I wonder why it doesn't work pressing A without Alt.
Where's "Ask for each cookie" in the firefox 1.0 UI?
Summary: Keyboard accellerators don't work on cookie pop-up → Keyboard accelerators don't work on cookie pop-up
cannot remember specifically when the Cookie prefs changed (they did before PR),
but if you go into Preferences (Options) > Privacy > Cookies you'll now see:

[checkbox] Allow sites to set cookies [selected by default]
    [checkbox] for originating site only [deselected by default]

Keep Cookies [dropmenu]:
    until they expire [default selection]
    until I close Firefox
    ask me every time

none of the above have accesskeys defined in current builds. should this bug be
resolved as invalid --or morphed to add the accesskeys?

tested with Linux 2004092110-0.9+ ffox bits.
Summary: Keyboard accelerators don't work on cookie pop-up → accesskeys don't work on cookie pop-up
There's probably still some pref somewhere (even if hidden) to make it give the
cookie popup for each site. We should still try to look at the actual cookie
popup where the problem is.

Why is this resolved? I have a fresh installation of 1.0.3 and it doesn't work.
Could you make a comment on why this was resolved; perhaps resolved on the 1.1
trunk?

That's what Resolved means -- it relates to the trunk:
