Change behavior of window navigation shortcut
On OS X, the keyboard shortcut for navigating among open windows is 'Cmd-`'. The default behavior of this is, if you keep the Cmd key down, then hit the ` key, it goes in one direction. If you at any point let go of the Cmd key and hit the ` key it reverses direction. This to me is undesirable behavior. I want to continue in the same direction unless I change it myself using the shift key. How to I change this default behavior? I can't find anything in about:config that looks like the setting I need.

That's an OS X thing. Firefox does not control it at all. You'd have to modify the behavior in OS X. Taking a look at the keyboard shortcut control panel I don't see anything that looks like it can change this.
No I don't think it is OS X itself because I only get this behavior with Firefox on OS X, no other app. It is probably how Firefox is implemented for OS X. I was hoping there was a setting somewhere to change the default behavior.
You are right. I filed this bug for the issue - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1137348 Thanks for letting us know!
Oh OK. So you tried it and verified the behavior and reported it as a bug. Thank you. Does it not behave this way on other OS versions?
I don't believe so. Windows has Alt+Tab and Windows+Tab to cycle though desktop apps and Windows store apps. When you cycle though desktop apps you also cycle though the open windows of the app. I wasn't able to "break" the Alt+Tab cycle.
Yeah, you're right. Alt-Tab cycles through all open windows, not just ones local to an open app. What a PITA. I tried it in a Windows 7 VM.
