I've just tested this on 12.04 and the accelerators are hidden by default, and only reveal themselves by pressing the Alt key. This appears to have been fixed.

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox The current GNOME default is that menu accelerators are hidden, and shown when you press the ALT key. Firefox doesn't observe this policy and have their menu accelerators displayed all the time. Also, pressing ALT alone in GNOME and Firefox doesn't invoke any menu command. This inconsistent behavior is a usability issue and also makes Ubuntu desktop look unprofessional.
