Bug #520
Annoyance and Bug in Iceweasel
100%
Description
Issue
1
Iceweasel 29 introduced the Australis UI bearing an "ALT" shortcut to
display the full menu bar. This feature conflicts with "ALT" being used
as a modifier in many Window Managers (i3/etc) and can be annoying for
the user. Feature can be disabled by default and the menu bar can be
enabled by "right click > Menu Bar".
Work Around :
set "ui.key.menuAccessKeyFocuses" from "True" to "False"
Issue 2
Visiting a website with swf content without having any swfplayer plugin
installed displays "Install (Flash)". The default
"plugins.notifyMissingFlash;false" to disable the notification isn't
effective and hence the string can be changed to something like "Install
(swfplayer)".

Issue 3
Clicking on "Menu -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> Check to see if your plugins are up to date" redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/plugincheck/ . If the user has a Browser plugin like "gecko-mediaplayer" to play media in the browser, the page wrongly detects the plugin to be the non-free plugins from apple/adobe respectively and asking to visit the respective websites "apple.com/ etc" to update the plugin if it is out of date.
Possible Solutions :
1) Set it to blank by removing the entry.
2) Add fsf plugins directory to promote 100% free browser plugins.
3) Display a string "This Browser is Free Software" with a URL redirection to the gnu project.
