I can't believe they were removed. I was using them regularly. At least let us restore them with an about:config setting.

Firefox is becoming more and more like Chrome with each version. If I wanted to use Chrome, I'd do just that.

Please reconsider. Thanks.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

The shortcuts should still work in the current Firefox.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

FredMcD, this was intentional and not a bug or broken so no need to diagnose with -safe-mode.
