Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090320 Shiretoko/3.5b4pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090320 Shiretoko/3.5b4pre

When pressing Command + Q a panel appears. Regular keyboard shortcuts (for Mac OS X) like "Enter" to quit, "Esc" or Command + . to cancel work.

It is however not possible to use the Tab key to shift the focus to one of the buttons or the checkbox. Additionally there is no obvious shortcut for "quit". In other Mac OS X applications this is always Command + D and the button is labeled "Don't save".

Reproducible: Always

FWIW: I'm seeing something similar on my Macbook Pro (late 2008) however my old Powerbook doesn't suffer from this problem.

This bug is still present in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.10. I don't think it would be particularly hard to fix. Can someone else confirm it exists?

Firefox has no key to copy link since 88. It was removed and not replaced. This is completely unreasonable.

A replacement key that is unusable by human hands is not a replacement. It's not unlike telling people they can vote, if they stand in line for 8 hours without water. That is telling people that they can't vote.

Telling people that there is a new key, but it's across the room where NO ONE, NO HUMAN HAND can reach, is telling them that there is no key.

Firefox has NO KEY to copy link currently.

There was no reason to break this, and I want you to know that I am never going to stop reporting it, and I will be identifying the people who broke it, like Asif Youssuff, personally, until it is identified as the bug that it is.

You broke a browser that millions of people depended on for NO REASON. NO REASON. There was NO REASON TO REMOVE THE HOTKEY TO COPY LINKS FROM FIREFOX.
