Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040823 Firefox/0.9.3

When right clicking a URL link to save the file to disk, the pop up
menu offers accelerator keys for variious actions.

The offered "Save Lin(k) as" uses k-key for save action.
Please change this to de facto "s", like "(S)ave link as" , which would be
consistent with the other brosers and familiar to people that use/change
browsers and operating systems (Win, Linux, Mac).

WONTFIX because:

* IE uses "a", not "s", for "Save Target As...".  Changing to "s" wouldn't
improve consistency with IE.

* We should use "s" for "Save Image As..." to match IE (bug 258437), and we
can't use the same accelerator for "Save Image As..." and "Save Link As...".

* You can't rely on the item having the word "As".  It might change to "Save
Link To Desktop" if your default download folder is the desktop.  This depends
on the outcome of bug 257143 and bug 244961.

See also bug 273233 for changing it to "a".

Already fixed in the trunk.

It's still "k" for me.  I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US;
rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041223 Firefox/1.0+.

Duh, my bad Jesse.

Anyway, I think it should be "a", which "Save _A_s" options typically use. Shall
we mark WONTFIX or dupe of the other one?

Wontfix in favor of bug 273233 for reasons given in comment 1 and comment 5.
