when changing history settings by keyboard, defeated when crossing "Never remember history"
Having problems, I did "Refresh Firefox", and now I have to change options (whoops, "preferences"). When it comes to choosing history to save, I find it impossible, free of the cumbersome, burdensome mouse, to change from "Remember history", because as soon as I cross "Never remember history" there is a pop-up, from which, because I want to change other options, too, I pick "Cancel", and my change is immediately canceled. I have found that there is a way around this, but to use it I need erst to know about the other choices to follow "Firefox will: (sic)", and for a first time that is too much. Your built-in features are becoming more and more mouse-bound. Consider your testing incomplete if you cannot come at all features by the keyboard alone.

Note that you can press the End key to skip the "Never remember history" choice (Alt+W and End).

Yes, but that only then is useful when one already knows that there is a choice besides "..." and "Never ..."--of course, it always is worth trying.

Could you attach some screenshots of this problem, especially this popup?
This is about using the keyboard to change the "Firefox will:" setting. When "Remember history" is selected and you use the access key Alt+W to set focus to the choices list and use the cursor Down key once then you come across "Neer remeber history". This will cause the confirmation dialog to open: "Firefox must restart to enable this feature." You can cancel this dialog, but can never reach "Use custom settings for history" with the cursor Down key.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
