type-ahead search in global-app-menu->Bookmarks doesn't work

[ts]

Firefox used to offer accessing bookmarks from the bookmarks menu [alt-b] directly using type-ahead search.
This feature seems to be broken in the global-app-menu integration

reproduce:
* install firefox
* add bookmarks
* hit [alt-b]
* hit any character

Firefox should directly jump to the bookmarks starting with the pressed character, but it doesn't.

Thanks, but this is not a Firefox bug. Firefox has nothing to do with drawing of menus or handling of events in menus when they are on the screen. That is all handled by the shell, all Firefox does is export its menu over the session bus.

Anyway, this feature is missing entirely from gtk, so reassigning there. Note, this bug has already been reported multiple times....
