To those who have upgraded their Mozilla Firefox 1.5 to Firefox 2, you will found that the shortcut keys are a bit messed up. This is especially for bulletin board users – who are used to the “Alt-S” shortcut key to submit their reply. I’m one of those too who are used to the “Alt-S” key, and now it can’t be used to reply post anymore – but open the history tab instead.

The old “Alt-S” shortcut key has been changed to “Alt-Shift-S” – so you can use “Alt-Shift-S” to replace to “Alt-S” shortcfut key. But if you are still not happy with it and would want back the Alt-S’s old function, you can do this by editing the config. Follow the steps below.

1. Goto “about:config”. (Do this like going to a normal website)
2. On the config page, find ui.key.chromeAccess and ui.key.contentAccess
3. Modify ui.key.chromeAccess to 5
4. Modify ui.key.contentAccess to 4

Voila! Everything is back to normal, and you can use the shortcut keys as before. To Internet Explorer user, you might wonder what’s so good about Mozilla Firefox. Until you use it, you will never know. You will then feel that Internet Explorer is just a piece of crap, especially Internet Explorer 6.
