When Firefox (version 3.6) window is restored from being minimized, some shortcut keys just don't work until I left-clicking somewhere, for example, in search bar or address bar. Please note that even if I left-click in the field of page content, these shortcut keys keep still not working. Those shortcut keys include ctrl+L, ctrl+k, alt+F or V etc (to call out the hidden menu). But ctrl+T is fine. I hope you guys can fix it soon otherwise I would keep staying with Firefox 3.5.8.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Minimize the window of firefox 3.6.
2. Restore the window.
3. Press shortcut key like ctrl+L, ctrl+K or Alt+F.
4. You'll just find they don't work.
5. Left-click in the search bar or address bar.
6. Try these shortcut keys again.
7. Now they are fine.
Actual Results:  
The shortcut keys don't work temporarily.

Expected Results:  
They should work like usual.
Version: unspecified → 3.6 Branch
