Why does Alt+F, D close the Firefox window? - eviltoast

I’ve accidentally tapped the D key when using Alt+F to open the File menu a few times. There is no matching shortcut or close-window command in that menu, yet it instantly closes the window. Can someone tell me why?

    It seems odd that you would CLICK the menu and then use the keyboard. Firefox has 2 versions, the ‘mouse’ version is slightly cut down.

    Try opening the menu with:

    1. Keyboard (press Alt, then F).

    2. Mouse (you can press Alt, then CLICK the F)

    This is something I rarely use keyboard for, TBH. I use mouse gestures.

    I close a tab by drawing an ‘L’ and can re-open a tab by drawing an ‘L’ in reverse (bottom to top).

    A window by doing ‘X’ and re-opening a window with an ‘L’ in reverse but coming down again from the vertical.

    I must say, I find gestures (i.e. drawing shapes) much easier to remember - I use ten times more gestures than I remember keyboard shortcuts.
