User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

exemples:

Alt+L as shortcut for the bookmark-list (german: *L*esezeichen) is ignored and executed as link to watchlist wikipedia-homepage instead. 

While the cursor is blinking in the input-mask Ctrl+Prior/Next as shortcut to go to the tab to the left/right is ignored and executed as navigate throw the form-history on pages like dict.leo.org or google.de instead.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
A webpage should not be able to *change* shortcuts. (It can provide additional shortcuts.)

Should be fixed in Firefox 2.0.

First Problem: “Alt+L as shortcut for the bookmark-list (german: *L*esezeichen) is ignored and executed as link to watchlist wikipedia-homepage instead.”
really is solved.

But second Problem unfortunately isn‘t:
“While the cursor is blinking in the input-mask Ctrl+Prior/Next as shortcut to
go to the tab to the left/right is ignored and executed as navigate throw the
form-history on pages like dict.leo.org or google.de instead.”

Confirmed with Firefox 2.0/WinXP. Most probably a dupe though.
