It really is focused for me, as in I can hit accelerator keys and use the arrows to navigate the menubar, although I suspect that's because my Firefox is built against gtk2 :). Anyway, in lieu of Alt being consistent with Windows, F10 seems to be a key shared between GTK+ and Windows for focusing the menubar (assuming GTK+/Windows respects this shortcut).
