Background

Many UI elements in the Mozilla “chrome” can be accessed by using an access key with another key. (The appropriate key is usually underlined in the UI element’s label.) For example, the File menu can normally be accessed by pressing "Alt+F". However, web pages can also specify access keys that can conflict with Mozilla’s shortcuts. To avoid this problem, the access key used for web page content can be specified separately from the chrome. This preference determines which access key is used for Mozilla’s chrome.
