Since most apps see AltGr as Ctrl+Alt, try this patch.
If you don't have a build, you can use PatchMaker to apply the patch.
If you can't use PatchMaker, you can apply the patch manually:
1. Close Mozilla (this step stops me from testing the patch)
2. Unzip comm.jar
3. Edit platformNavigationBindings.xul and add the lines from the
attachment that begin with a + (but remove the +)
4. "Freshen" comm.jar
