357589 - ALT + S opens History & Back

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 349716

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Greg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

VBulletin allows a shortcut when posting known as ALT + S.  On no other FireFox release does ALT + S open up History > Back.  I'm asking that in the next build that you guys change this to how it was previously.

Many people use VBulletin forums, and as you can see, VBulletin.com & VBulletin.org (both the same owners) have a large user base who mostly use Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a thread.  You can use the link above.  (Remember, you must first register)
2. Scroll down to the "Quick Reply" box & type something like "Testing FireFox Browser."
3. Then hist ALT + S.  ALT + S is supposed to be a shortcut to post a "Quick Reply"
4. You will then see History > Back open up instead of posting the quick reply on the website.

Please note that it isn't just this website.  If you're not familiar with VBulletin software, then you should know what hundreds of thousands (if not millions) use VBulletin software.  Just search google & you'll see.
Actual Results:  
The toolbar opens History > Back instead of posting the quick reply.

Expected Results:  
The software should of posted the "Quick Reply"

I'd like to add that this does not ONLY affect the Quick Reply, but ANY form on a VBulletin software.

In Firefox 2 Alt+<key> is used to access application shortcut keys and Alt+Shift+<key> is used to access in-page access keys. 

This is a duplicate of another bug, but I'm not sure which.
