306560 - None standard Windows keyboard support

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 261985

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Michael Remillard]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When using the keyboard to bring up (for example) the "Bookmarks" menu, I cannot
get to any option contained in this menu if:

  The option starts with "B" or "M" (like the only two options that have an
underlined character in that menu)

Also, how can one get to the address bar without using the mouse???

  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
If I have an option starting with "B" when I hit "B" the first time it should
select "Bookmark this page...".  If I hit "B" a second time it should then
select the next option in taht menu which starts with "B".  The same should be
true with the "M" options.

As for the address bar it would be nice if, like iexplorer, we could hit "F4"
and be right away able to type in an address.

Alt+D or Ctrl+L will get to the address bar with the mouse. Check out Keyboard
navigation under help or do a google search.
