This Greasemonkey user script deletes duplicate accesskeys. This became an issue when I upgraded to Firefox 3. It does not invoke the action associated with an accesskey if there are duplicates on a page. Instead it moves the focus between each duplicate and you must press Enter to invoke the action. My e-mail client (Horde IMP) has duplicate accesskeys. (See Horde bug #6803.)

The first occurrence of a particular accesskey on a page will be left intact. All later duplicates are removed.
