Hi.  Please create a keyboard shortcut for Preferences / Options which uses the same key combination on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.  I suggest Control+Comma.

I don't want this because Options is used often, although there *are* users who use it often.  See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/428222 for an example.  *I* want this because it's confusing how Options is in a different place in every OS; having a common shortcut would make things much less confusing for people who often switch between two OSes.

Firefox on Mac OS X already uses Cmd+Comma.  Keep that combination available.  But add Ctrl+Comma as a second option.

On Windows and Linux, it would be good if you tell users about the new keyboard shortcut by adding the words "Ctrl+," to the menu item name.  But if you insist on not adding those words, then don't add them.  :)
