Isnt firefox about user choice?  Please excuse my technical ignorance
but why can't there be a about:config pref that allows users to decide
if they want plugins or the browser to get hotkeys first?

Seems that a great number of people here want this.  If the option is
there then there would be no reason to complain! Even if the pref was
the default option, the 0.00001% of firefox users that have their flash
game broken can set it back no problems.  Everyone wins.

I would argue that a change like this affects less people negatively
then E4X depredation for addons.  Yet, the call was made that the
benefits outweighed the negatives.  I believe mozilla can do the right
thing again.
