I need to enter accented characters in text entry boxes on line. In order to do so, I use the ASCII keyboard shortcuts(e.g. an accented a= ALT+0228).

But I cannot do this with FF 14 as FF helpfully traps the keystrokes to send me to another tab in my current window. Yes, I have installed Customizable Shortcuts--this did not solve the problem ( I even set the TAB shortcuts to rare combos).

I have no use for "helpful" tab jumping key traps; I do have great use for being able to type accented characters while using FF. How do I disable all TAB switching/manipulation keyboard shortcuts. I found nothing in about:config that appeared useful.

All I want to do is disable all of the FF TAB keytraps.

Thanks for any suggestions.'italic text'

On Windows, it's the Ctrl key plus the tab number that switches tabs; I guess the Alt key is an OS convention on Linux?

It might be worth trying the keyconfig extension. More info:

Note: this is not the same extension as the "Key config" extension on the Add-ons site.

Note that such Alt + number shortcuts only work on Windows.
On Windows you may need to check if Num Lock is set to prevent interpreting the key press as a command when it is disabled.

On Linux it is common to use a compose key (usually the windows key next to the right Alt key) to compose characters.
That is much easier then using an Alt key combination anyway.
