When I press F1 in an FF window, the window is replace with a window on http://support.mozilla.com. I lose what I was entering in the previous window (a GUI composition window); there does not seem to be any way to get it back. FYI, this happens when I overreach for the 1 key and hit F1 by mistake.

I would like to disable the FF(?) interpretation of the F1 key -- and all F-keys -- without losing the interpretation of other special keys such as ctrl+F (find).

This happened

Every time Firefox opened
