Firefox uses a different command key on different platforms. I often switch between Linux and Mac OS. Having Mac OS use the command key and linux use control was quite confusing. Firefox offers a solution. Point your browser to about:config. This allows you to change settings that aren’t part of the regular options dialogs. In the filter text box type

ui.key.accelKey

Then change the value to one of the following by double clicking on the ui.key.accelKey label.

17 Control
18 Alt
224 Meta (Mac OS command).

You may have to restart firefox for the settings to take effect.
