This doesn't look like a globalmenu-extension bug. This is the sort of thing that would need to implemented on the side that renders the menu

I'll assign to indicator-appmenu for now, but I'm not even sure if GTK menus even support this

Chris,

The menu works that way when the extension is not installed. For example, I
can press Alt+B then Y to go to a bookmark named Yahoo.

Yes, I know. But that is because without the extension, Firefox renders the menus and it receives keyboard events when the menu is open. That is not the case when using the extension
