excerpt from the Moz 0.9 release notes:
Linux: Keyboard shortcuts on Linux now use Ctrl instead of Alt as the
modifier key, while Alt is used for menu shortcuts. If you wish to
modify these shortcut keys, edit your prefs.js file as follows:
user_pref("ui.key.accelKey", 18);
(This changes the accelerator key from Ctrl (17) to Alt (18).)
user_pref("ui.key.menuAccessKey", 0);
(This changes the menu access key from Alt (18) to none.)
