Seems to work fine on Ubuntu 10.11. Altered tab behaviour (Comment #25)
remains, but  I guess that's a different bug..

  Firefox steals Alt-Tab whilst in URL completion drop-down

Bug description:
  Firefox steals the key combination Alt-Tab, used to cycle through currently
  running applications, when the URL bar is in drop-down completion mode.  It also
  appears to steal other alt-related key bindings.

  Steps to reproduce:

    1.  Load up more than 1 application.  Eg.  an xterm work-alike of your choice.
    2.  Load Firefox
    3.  Select the URL bar and start to type 'www.'
    4.  As soon as the selection as moved into the drop-down list, press Alt-Tab

  Alt-Tab (or Alt-Esc) will now act as though just 'Tab' or just 'Escape' were
  pressed.
