When hitting ALT+S the focus is switched to the search bar in the Bookmarks sidebar.

Expected Results:
The History Menu is opened.

You are not able to use ALT+S without 2.) either since the Menubar cannot deliver Accessibility to ALT Shortcuts when hidden.
Use CTRL+H instead.
=> INVALID?

When the Menu-bar is hidden the menu can still be accessed using the ALT+S shortcut (as well as all the other shortcuts ALT +F/E/V etc). When the sidebar is displayed (either History or Bookmarks) the ALT+S shortcut comes into conflict with the search bar from within the sidebar.

Could probably be a dupe.

This issue is not reproducible anymore using the latest Firefox 123.0 build on Win 10, the History Menu is opened after using the keyboard shortcut "ALT+S", I'm closing it as WFM.
