With Unity being strongly keyboard centric this type of failing is all the more important. Unity needs to be at least as functional as other environments, not less

This doesn't work in Unity 3D (I haven't checked in 2D, though I will if there's doubt about that). To be clear: sub-menu shortcuts do still work if they're underlined, e.g. alt+H for help, A for About. I'm used to using Ubuntu 10.10 where the bookmarks (and history) menus work fine as I describe. And in 10.10, if there are several entries with the same initial letter, one can press the key multiple times to cycle through the choices. Please do not helpfully post klugey workarounds for this problem. I'm well aware I can pick up the mouse and get around the problem. I assume this is a Unity problem rather than Firefox, but I'll be happy to investigate further if it's needed, provide detailed screenshots or whatever. By the way, I would have logged this bug several weeks ago, if it were evident how to submit bugs from a browser on another system. I don't run 12.04 myself, I noticed this failure on my wife's PC. It seems strange that I can't submit a bug just by going to bugs.launchpad.net.
