Mac Firefox hotkey annoyance

I've found that at some point in the recent past, the hotkey to create a link in a message (Command-L on OSX) has become quite an annoyance. This key combination is shared with the Firefox hotkey to jump to the location bar, which I very frequently use for navigation. The problem comes chiefly after posting via quick-post, when it seems that the box remains active. If I then attempt to navigate away by typing Command-L and typing a URL, instead I get the "create link" box.

If it's possible to change the hotkey, somehow disable it, or prevent the quick-post box from remaining active after posting, this would save me a minor but frequent UI annoyance.

Ok, bummer. The italic and bold hotkeys are nice, but I don't think I'd ever conceivably miss having a hotkey to open the link dialog. (I also guess I'm getting old, because I remember once upon a time when overriding an OS-level hotkey in your application was considered bad practice, which is essentially what's happened here.)

Yeah, I'm thinking about it as an analogy, since in the good old days, there also weren't applications within applications within applications within the OS. Certainly it's much harder than it used to be, both because of the extra layers to consider, and the explosion of cross-platform combinations (of OSes, window managers, browsers, etc, etc, etc).

Thanks for submitting the bug report, I agree that fixing the keyboard focus would be an acceptable fix (and perhaps the best of the various alternatives).

I found another reasonable key combination for dealing with this. After the unwanted window pops up, if I hit esc, tab, cmd-L, then the desired behavior results. (If I remembered what was going to happen, the esc could be left off.)
