that was what I meant as a usability issue in my previous reply...
making firefox US-centric is a no-no...

leftalt+left arrow is bad for laptops as well (my left arrow is on the
right side, leftalt is on the left side, and my hand is not big enough).

then, for me, the question is, should that go to upstream as a usability
loss bug (if there is such a thing) or should it be fixed only by
ubuntu. that, of course, would have to be answered by a devel :)
