ALT-P shortcut no longer works in Print Preview

After upgrading to version 25.0 on Windows 7 64-bit Professional, the ALT-P keyboard shortcut in Print Preview no longer works. Clicking on the Print button works. I have not made any recent changes to add-ons or extensions.

My workflow requires that I print many times a day using Print Preview (don't ask!), and losing the keyboard shortcut is very inconvenient.

Hi,

Try using KeyConfig: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/key-config/

Hope this helps!

It doesn't work for me as well on Linux.
Pressing the Tab key once makes Alt+P and other shortcut keys work again, so it appears that when the page has focus that the shortcut keys get disabled (if I click the preview page then the shortcut key stop working).

I'm having the same problem using Windows XP 32-bit. For those of us that are more keyboard oriented and print alot, it's a real pain not to be able to use the keyboard shortcuts we've been using for so long now.

Does pressing the Tab key work like I posted above?

Why yes, it does now. It didn't earlier. Any idea why the need to press the Tab key now?
