Firefox 67 improved accessibility by allowing you to access toolbar shortcuts (e.g. the page actions or reload buttons to the right of the address bar) by using the keyboard. See here for details: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/access-toolbar-functions-using-keyboard

I'd like to know if this can be disabled. I have grown accustomed to pressing Alt+D (or Ctrl+L) to access the address bar, and pressing tab once to access the search bar. Now there are 1-3 additional keypresses required (because each page affects what toolbar icons are available, e.g. reader mode).

Any way to turn this off in about:config? Can anyone from the Mozilla team help?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can. But first, let me also mention that on Windows, both Ctrl+k and Ctrl+e will move the cursor into the classic search bar.

And now, the setting:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste TOOLB and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.toolbars.keyboard_navigation preference to switch the value from true to false

That should cause the tab key to ignore buttons and go to the next text field.

Success?
