User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141011015303

Steps to reproduce:

The menu states, that the keyboard shortcut for "Page Information" is "Ctrl+Shift+P" - as "Ctlr+Shift+I", which is the common shortcut on other platforms,  is occupied for IExplorer similarity on Windows platform.


Actual results:

When pressing the stated keyboard shortcut a new private browsing window is opened. As I checked for the shortcut for opening a new private browsing window it also states that it is "Ctrl+Shift+P".


Expected results:

I'd have expected to open the page information sidebar.

Strangely, when I had Firefox (german version) installed on my Windows XP, page information sidebar was opened with "Ctrl+Alt+P". But this seems not to work with the english version of Firefox.
In my opinion, all keyboard shortcuts of a release should be checked, whether they have duplicate meanings in a release (platform dependent), to avoid inconsistent behavior to what the menus state.

I would be absolutely fine with "Ctrl+Alt+P" for the page information sidebar. IMHO I really don't care what the shortcut for page information is, as long as the stated shortcut is consistent. Alternatively, a configuration possibility for the shortcuts would solve any animosity of users with a selected default of keyboard shortcuts.

By default, there is no shortcut for Page Info on Firefox for Windows (at least, if there is, it's not listed in the menus).

In what language is your copy of Firefox that has this problem? Can you reproduce it if you restart with add-ons disabled? ( Help > Restart with add-ons disabled)

Even in the newest version of Firefox (50.0) the page info in the tools menu specifies CTRL+SHIP+P as shortcut

I've got Firefox in English on a Windows 10 in German.

To prove that I am not kidding or that I am crazy... here's a screenshot of my tools menu on my Firefox 50.0.
