Alt+NUM, which used for jumping tab to tab, doesn't work with ARABIC-INDIC
DIGITs and EXTENDED ARABIC-INDIC DIGITs.

Using Unicode's numerical value of a glyph is better than just check the ASCII
NUMBERs.  But don't know how to solve Bug 301896 with this model.

Putting them on translatable (dtd|properties) files help to solve the reverse
problem, but may couse some other i18n problems.

This bug is very annoying in non-Latin scripts.  Is it possible to get it fixed
for ff2.0?

DEP: Bug 69230 -- Accelerators should not be affected by keyboard group/level?

Isn't this a dupe of bug 298004 (fixed on trunk)?

[Behnam Esfahbod [:zwnj]]

It wasn't a DUP of 298004, but that feature fixes this request.  Note that Bug 69230 could fix this request in many cases too.
