488624 - Two Alt+H possibilities in Tools - Options - Main

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[KeyboardUser]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Click Tools - Options
Under the Main option, H is the Alt shortcut key for both Help and Home Page.  Pressing Alt+H seems to do nothing.  Navigate to another option, Alt+H brings up Help.

Was writing a script to change the home page for a user and noticed this was broken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Tools, then Options
NOTE - H in Home Page and Help is underlined, noting a Alt keyboard shortcut.
2. Press Alt+H.
3. ???
4. Profit ... or nothing happens.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens when you press Alt+H.  I think once it might have highlighted the home page text.

Expected Results:  
Not sure, either select the text in the home page text box or open Help.  I assume it should open help since other options use Alt+H to open help.

Firefox is awesome.  Thank you for doing what you do.
