See bug 797486 comment 2 and bug 797486 comment 3. This should be an evangelism bug.

Can you move this to Tech Evangelism then? And quote the part of the spec that supports our new behavior? Thanks.

Hi Alice,

I have tested your issue on latest FF release 47.0.1 and latest Nightly build ID: 20160705030222 and could not reproduce it.
Is this still reproducible on your end ? If yes, can you please retest this using latest FF release and latest Nightly build (https://nightly.mozilla.org/) and report back the results ? When doing this, please use a new clean Firefox profile, maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause (https://goo.gl/PNe90E).

The shortcut key[2] had been changed by Google. It no longer need modifier keys.

Key press -, + works as expected.
