I have no idea if the problem is already identified. You should make a 
search inside bugzilla even if it might not very easy to find. I know 
some problem in the way mozilla handles the short-cuts have been 
resolved a few month back for the linux version.

It's not very easy to write a good patch for mozilla (code that doesn't 
respect the rules will not be accepted), and that case looks a bit 
delicate. It would be better to open a bug, and point to good info about 
the proper way to behave for mozilla.
