alt-f not working in Firefox

[Al Sten-Clanton]

Hi, Tim.

Alt-t didn't work.  I didn't try the others.

I don't think I was in full-screen mode.  If I was, it was by accident.

After being unable to read an article because the Web page or some other 
unwanted page kept reloading, I removed firefox and the .mozilla 
directory.  I'd already tried a simple reinstall, and it had done no 
good.  I then did another reinstall, and alt-f and alt-t worked again. 
I lost some much-wanted bookmarks that way, but I hadn't been able to 
get at them anyway.



Thanks for your help.
