Even though I have accessibility.accesskeycausesactivation set to true, I still have to press Enter before the link is activated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to a page with accesskeys in the page (I use bugzilla.redhat.com, but I am not sure whether the version when I am not logged in has shortcuts as well).
2.press the shortcut (e.g., Alt+Shift+N for Next)
3.
Actual Results:  
the link is selected 

Expected Results:  
the link is activated

The reverse of this happens to me.  I *want* to have to press Enter before the link is activated.

I set accessibility.accesskeycausesactivation to false, and that works for the current session, but the next time I open Firefox it goes back to activating links automatically as soon as I type their access keys.  In about:config accessibility.accesskeycausesactivation is still set to false.  

If I toggle accessibility.accesskeycausesactivation to true and then back to false again, accessibility.accesskeycausesactivation=false will be honored for that new session but it's never honored whenever I restart Firefox.
