This is a dupe, and has nothing at all do to with security.

This also works for me in a current trunk build, so the original is probably
marked fixed at this point.

That does not really work! Ctrl+n works and other shortcuts, but alt+d does not
work. If caps lock is on, it only plays the default system beep sound if
pressing alt+d.
That's so further on with the Windows release of Firefox.

(I use v.1.0.4).

Do you want to take a vnc connection to my desktop, so you can yourself see it
does not work?
Or don't you otherly believe?
