How can I make bold a text in a data base that I open with Firefox? Ctrl+B doesn't work like it does in IExplorer. It's opening a bookmark window instead of making text bold. It would be very helpfull to me to do that with a task combination. I'm using Firefox in Romanian language, but the keyboard is set to german language. Thank you!

Try to additionally press the Shift key: Alt+Shift+B or Ctrl+Shift+B

Ctrl+B is the shortcut for the bookmarks bar, that's that part of your problem...

Thanks co-rel, but these task combinations don't work neither ...

Matt, tank you too, but I allready noticed that when I first time used Ctrl+B with mozilla.

That's why I decided to write to this support. I searched the internet many times for a solution.... Maybe there is someone who knows.
