This is intended behaviour in IE. Pressing the access key shortcut
focuses the link or control. You need to then press Enter to activate it.

In Firefox, it focuses and activates in one step. It's not broken, just
different!

The IE method gives the user the chance to check and confirm their action.

Hope this helps

Cheers
