Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  The current GNOME default is that menu accelerators are hidden, and
  shown when you press the ALT key.

  Firefox doesn't observe this policy and have their menu accelerators
  displayed all the time.

  Also, pressing ALT alone in GNOME and Firefox doesn't invoke any menu
  command.

  This inconsistent behavior is a usability issue and also makes Ubuntu
  desktop look unprofessional.
