306777 - drop-down list of search bar plugins cannot be accessed with the keyboard.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 283273

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[gherald]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050816 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050816 Firefox/1.0.6

When you click the currently selected plugin in the search bar, a list of
possible pluggins drops down.  This same drop-down list should be accessible
using the keyboard.

Alt+down and Shift+down both gives a list of previous search strings.  Perhaps
one of those should be changed.

Ctrl+down and Ctrl+up will change search engines one by one (without displaying
the drop-down list), but this is far from ideal when there are many to choose from.

Reproducible: Always

Please don't file bugs on Firefox 1.0.x.

For testing the experimental builds that will eventually become Firefox 2.0, use:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk

For testing the experimental builds that will eventually become Firefox 1.5, use:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8

Well, correction. You can file security or crash related bugs on 1.0.x. Other
than that, look to later versions for improvements. Firefox 1.0.x is based on a
2 year old version of Gecko.
