User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091028 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.4 Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.23 (20090817) Coming from Windows I was expecting the F5 key to get new messages also in the Linux version of Thunderbird. I eventually found out that F9 and Ctrl+T does this, but F5 seems more like the standard key. It does not seem to be used for anything else. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press F5. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Getting news messages from POP3 server.
Andreas, Magnus is F5 the standard Key to refresh on linux ?
ctrl+r or f5 seems to be what most Linux apps use, especially web browsers.
Xref bug 79397 for seamonkey request.
