Chosen solution

You see all entries in the File menu if you use the keyboard with Alt+F to open the File menu.

You can open a file via "Firefox > New Tab > Open File" or "File > Open File"

hello Sorry I saw the answer to my last question which was... "Is their other codes like alt+f for getting the files like one for tools or history like alt+g or alt+m Is their a list somewhere that teaches that. or are they accussed some other way". I see it is all up with the alt+f code

so my question should be is their anyway to keep the alt+f menue up on the all the time. Thanks Ken
