I'm running FF 13 and Mac OS 10.7.4. When using other apps, I can press and hold certain keys, e.g., the letter O and a character palette appears providing me with accented/alternative characters. As I am using an American English keyboard in Germany, this functionality is useful when typing German characters (e.g., ö, ü, etc).

Reference this article for more information: http://www.macworld.com/article/1161330/four_lion_terminal_hacks.html

Any ideas of how I can enable this in FF?

Thanks, Martin

I don't think this is supported yet in Firefox (not sure if this is something that is automatically enabled in MacOS X apps, or if each client app needs to enable it).

I filed a bug to enable this feature in Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764297

@djst: Thanks for filing the bug. I guess I'll have to use the Option key combinations for the time being.
