Isnt firefox about user choice? Please excuse my technical ignorance but why can't there be a about:config pref that allows users to decide if they want plugins or the browser to get hotkeys first?
Seems that a great number of people here want this. If the option is there then there would be no reason to complain! Even if the pref was the default option, the 0.00001% of firefox users that have their flash game broken can set it back no problems. Everyone wins.
I would argue that a change like this affects less people negatively then E4X depredation for addons. Yet, the call was made that the benefits outweighed the negatives. I believe mozilla can do the right thing again.
