So far ok. But it's incorrectly mentioned on all help pages that the shortcut key F4 selects the location bar in IE. It does not just select the location bar but also activates the drop down. I can use up and down arrows to select a page and hit enter. There is no such key in firefox. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Confirming, IE does use F4 for this action. In addition, I can't see a way to get to the location bar history via the keyboard. Using Alt+D, Ctrl+L or F6 puts focus there, but you can't use up/down to navigate entries.

On winblows, any "drop down" control that has focused can be dropped down with ALT-DOWN_ARROW and this works with FireFox on windows. Can somebody try this on unix and mac? Daniel
