[gentoo-user] Firefox key shortcut buglet

Alt-Control-R should switch between normal rendering and Reader mode. All the documentation available including the "tooltip" that pops up when I hover my mouse over the Reader icon agrees. And yet, in the File menu, there is an item "Restart (Developer)" with the same shortcut. And when I in fac
