There was a lot of behind-the-scenes flamage to get the Mozilla people to notice this option and to actually honor it. > Why they hid this in "Keyboard Shortcuts" I have no idea. Every release of OS X has hidden more stuff in really fucked up places in Preferences. The one that pissed me off most was apparently losing my list of default applications to run when I log in. I discovered they'd moved that, for some utterly bizarre reason, into the account settings. Apparently because the list of apps you always run is something you set on a per account basis. The fact that just about everything ELSE in Preferences is ALSO set on a per account basis and therefor ALSO should be hidden in account settings has thankfully escaped their notice... but I'm still half-expecting that one day I'll install a new version of Mac OS and find there's only one icon left in Preferences - "Accounts and Settings".There's stuff above here
