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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/263435/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
