Okay, so I know ways around some of the Firefox hates which people post
here.  Doesn't mean that I think Firefox is, by any stretch of the
imagination, hate-free.

Pet hate, which keeps biting me (win32): inconsistent menu short-cuts
for "open in new tab".  If I right-click on a link and press 'T', that's
new tab.  I use that a lot on this laptop.  But if I right-click on a
toolbar bookmark, guess what 'T' stands for?  Well golly-gosh if it
isn't cuT.  Never mind that Windows has a well-established XCV triplet
of shortcuts for Cut/Copy/Paste.  So I keep losing items from the
bookmarks toolbar because there's no 'undo' for this.  :^(

It's only a _foolish_ consistency that's the hobgoblin of little minds.
Some UI consistency, even within the one application, would be nice.  I
could adapt if it used something other than OS native defaults, if it
were consistent.

Gaah.
