Control functions no longer work in Firefox 4 (with Windows 7). Instead, they use the Alt key (ie - Alt+C for copy instead of Ctrl+C). Any way I can change this back?

Would like to switch Alt function key shortcuts (ie - Alt+X for cut) back to the old Control key functions. Any suggestions?

Which version of Firefox do you use?

You have a weird user agent:

  • Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0; hi, Mom) Gecko/20020604

Try to reset the preferences.
