User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130624104217 Steps to reproduce: 1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random 2) Press alt+shift+e Actual results: Nothing; or, if I press 'e' strictly *after* the other keys, the "Edit" menu of Firefox opens. This is very disrupting for the user experience on websites; it makes several tasks nearly impossible for me on my MediaWiki wikis (they take an order of magnitude time more). Expected results: The "edit" (or "edit source") button, having accesskey 'e' and telling me to use alt+shift+e, should have been pressed. Workarounds tried: I saw http://geek.co.il/2009/08/12/why-html-access-keys-do-not-work-in-firefox-linux http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.key.chromeAccess and set ui.key.chromeAccess to 0 in order to disable access keys for the menu completely, but alt+shift+e keeps to be stolen by Firefox for its menu. Fedora 18, KDE 4.10.5. $ uname -a Linux ... 3.9.9-201.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 5 16:42:02 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 22.0

Cannot reproduce with Firefox 30.0 on Fedora 20. alt+shift+e triggers "edit source" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

Works for me in Firefox 37.0.1 in Linux Mint KDE 17.1. Reporter, are you still seeing this in the latest version of Firefox in a brand new profile? https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

No, I've not seen it for a while, but I don't remember whether I applied some workaround to fix it.
