When a user comments that keyboard use in Firefox is not as efficient as they’d like in terms of the number of key presses, it’s not a good idea to suggest something that is even less efficient because it requires moving a hand.

For some reason, the default keyboard command Alt+P, which is Option+P on macOS, did not work for me, but I remembered that there’s a way on about:addons to “manage extension shortcuts”, so I changed it to Shift+Control+P, and now it works.
Thanks, I’ll file a bug.
The issue exists in Nightly even when I revert the word-wrap
property. It seems to be the default behavior. Can you reproduce in Nightly?
The screenshot shows that the code word !important
is broken in Firefox Nightly. This never happens in other browsers. Resize the browser window and check if that word breaks.
Can somebody reproduce? Go to https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7535 and resize the browser window
Could Firefox not delay the update until the user actually restarts the browser?
I’m not “doing updates”. I’m just using Firefox normally.
The problem is not that you need to restart the browser to update it. The problem is that Firefox refuses to load any new web pages until you restart. So for example, the user might be working on something and have multiple tabs open. And then they need to open another web page in order to finish the work, but Firefox refuses to load the page. If the user restarts Firefox, all the opened pages will reload, and some context will be lost. But if the user does not restart Firefox, they can’t open any new web pages, which prevents them from finishing the work. It’s a lose-lose situation for the user. The only solution is to open the web pages in a different browser. The fact that Firefox forces users to use different browsers is not good.
I shared a screenshot, so I was not able to add text to the post. Maybe it’s possible, I don’t know. If there was a text box to add more text to the post, I would have explained the problem.
The solution is to set
browser.urlbar.resultMenu.keyboardAccessible
tofalse
on the about:config page.
