From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686)
BuildID: 2000101509, M18
some keyboard shortcuts have no qualifier key. As a result, shortcuts are
activated when keys pressed to enter into address bar, forms, etc. Is this a bug
or a problem with my setup???
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press a key that has a shortcut without a qualifier, even if focus is in
form, address bar, etc.
2.
3.
Actual Results: Shortcut is activated (windows pop open, etc). This makes
Mozilla unusable because I cannot type anything into the address bar, and form,
etc.
Expected Results:

madsci: are you sure that you have the build ID correct? This was a known and
fixed bug about a month ago, and I can't force it to come back in more recent
builds. Please download a more recent build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/, delete your .mozilla, and
try it again. Thanks!

pasting email from the reporter (thx, Doug!):
This happened with:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001010
and with the nightly build I downloaded on
the night that I first filed the report.
I do have a bit more info on what happened:
I downloaded some themes to try
(View->Apply Theme->Get New Themes)
One of the themes appears to have changed
the keyboard shortcuts, so that some of them
did not have any qualifiers (ie: Open = O
instead of Open = Ctrl+O) . This resulted
in the keyboard shortcut being activated
the key was pressed for an unqualified KB
shortcut, regardless of where I was typing
(address bar, form on web, etc).
Changing back to one of the default themes
did not restore the KB shortcuts. To fix
the probme, I wound up removing Mozilla
from the system, and re-installing it again.
It would be nice if Mozilla disabled keyboard
shortcuts that are not qualified with either
the CTRL or ALT keys to prevent this type of
problem in the future with poorly designed
themes. Also, the default themes should restore
the keyboard shortcuts as anything else that a
theme can change, to allow easier recovery from
problems that may arise from other themes.

setting bug status to New. Reporter, what theme was this? (please reply to the
bug itself. there is a link on this email notice you are reading right now)
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Sorry, I don't know which skin it was that started the problem, I installed and
tried several at once. Switching to the default skin again did not correct the
problem because the default skin did not correct the keyboard shortcuts.

As far as I know, themes cannot change keyboard binding. Language
packs, however, can change keybaord binding.
We need a test case. Reporter, please give us the url of the
theme so we can triage this bug.

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
