Details

Alt-Tab is the key combination to switch applications, both in Windows and Linux. Firefox hides the menu bar as soon as Alt is pressed, even if another key is pressed before Alt is released. That is a problem because there is no way to see the menus and be able to use the system-wide Alt-Tab. And also because using a shortcut will automatically hide the menubar. It is also inconsistent because if the menu bar is already hidden, Alt+Tab or Alt+accesskey does not unhide it.
(In reply to Eduardo Trápani from comment #0) > Firefox hides the menu bar as soon as Alt is pressed Curiously, it now does the (almost) opposite to me: bug 1044170.
Seems to be solved in 34 (Linux)
