Some comment :

ALT + d open the _H_elp Menu because Help in french is Ai_d_e

After extraction of fr.jar, fr/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd :

<!ENTITY helpMenu.accesskey "d">
<!-- LOCALIZATION NOTE some localizations of Windows (ex:french, german) use "?" for the help button in the menubar but Gnome does not. -->

But on fr/locale/browser/browser.dtd :

<!ENTITY urlbar.accesskey "d"> <-- For both english and french versions.

so it seems that helpMenu.accesskey has a better 'priority' than urlbar.accesskey

This behavior is new on Dapper, for the breezy file (they split browser.dtd and baseMenuOverlay.dtd on 1.5 apparently) browser.dtd :

<!ENTITY helpMenu.label "Aide">
<!ENTITY helpMenu.accesskey "A">

[...]

<!ENTITY urlbar.accesskey "d">

It's ok Gnome if doesn't use '?' for the Help menu, but switch back from Ai_d_e to _A_ide (so back to Alt + a for help menu) will help users to get less confused...
