You know, I understood Firefox has excellent Keyboard accessibility.
For example see the first line in the VPAT:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/vpat.html
or
http://www.mozilla.org/access/features

Admittedly both these pages are a little out of date as they mention FF 1.5.

So my guess is that Conkerer mostly gives EMACs style keyboard access
for EMACS diehards. Perhaps there is some synergy with Emacspeak?

Indecently I believe FF is the only browser to have a VPAT.
