Is this expected? It used to work at some point, and I only noticed now that it does not. Is there a setting of some sort - sounds like a bug.

At least a lot of the recent regressions seem to be clearing up, especially Media Player. I believe they took searching textareas out a few builds back… probably called it a “fix” too.

this sucks! ever thought about the fact that the old crtl-e or the ctrl-y could be used with _one_ hand?
with ctrl+j you have to switch your right hand between the mouse and the keyboard, i don’t htink this is very ergonomical/comfortable.

Or you could move the mouse to the menu or button. Keyboard shortcuts are primarily for keyboard only users.

I beg you pardon ? Since when is that ? If you want to comfortably work with a software application good keyboard shortcuts are essential. There should be a need to do everything with the mouse (as in a lot of applications). Mozilla is good to navigate with the keyboard and that is a nice feature (even if you have a mouse). Keyboard is more direct compared to mouse navigation. > Keyboard shortcuts are primarily for keyboard only users.

But toggling download manager seems like a less used function. And if you need to inspect a lot of large simultaneous downloads over long periods of time, you would do a lot better with an extension like Download Statusbar or a mouse gesture. Keep the left-hand-only shortcuts for more heavily used functions.
