The answers to these should be as follows: Yes, Yes, No. If you can't answer the questions in that sequence, then you need to curtail your commenting. I am backing up Mike in saying that these kinds of "Vent Frustration" comments need to be kept to a minimum and he did say himself that he will close this bug without it being resolved if nobody is willing to try to move toward a solution.

Now I may have a theory as to how the hotkeys are being misplaced.

1. plugin opens.
2. until plugin has focus, Firefox checks hotkeys.
3. when plugin has focus, something either messes up or does as it's supposed to and stops the checking of hotkeys in case the plugin needs them.
4. Hotkeys no longer work.
