Why F1 works in Thunderbird 13, but not in Firefox 13 ??
If press F1 is an accident, why it keep in Thunderbird? Mozilla is not logic.

    + Tests cleanup:

      - Removed all unnecessary logging setup per test file.
      - Removed all unnecessary shebangs in test files.
      - Isolated test code into tests/ directory, including moving all the
        get_test_window_foo from the gtk3 production modules to
        tests/gtk3/windows.py module.
      - Removed all the calls to Gtk.main() in gtk3 tests since that blocks the
        execution of the suite.

      - Minor bug fix in the softwarecenter/log.py module when trying to
        create a log dir with proper perms.

    - Stop the video if user navigates away from an app details page

      changing a page, and a enter_page when navigating into a page.
