HTML accesskey= tags break FireFox usability in a big way for keyboard users. (See #303192 for another thread on this, I'm sure there are many.) Some users will never want to use the accesskey= functionality, preferring instead to use the browser's access keys. They should have a way to disable accesskey= handling for all pages. I'd envision a Tools->Options setting, but it would be fine if I had to manually edit a conf file somewhere to disable this.
For an example of why this functionality would be useful, open any Wikipedia article (for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) and then try to close the tab (Alt-F C) or print the page (Alt-F P) from the keyboard. The fact that keyboard accelerators work differently on different pages is incredibly confusing behavior.
My apologies if this is a dupe, I couldn't find anything like it in the search.
Reproducible: Always
