There are assigned accesskeys for the Page Info window (tabs), but I
don't understand why they are not underlined, and why there aren't any
assigned accesskeys for other windows (Add-ons, Options) is beyond me.

I can go into Firefox's dtd files and change the accesskeys to
whatever I want, but I don't know how to create one. Is it difficult
to do?
