[FIX] web: allow standard shortcuts on firefox

when navigating with the keyboard, using the ALT key is the trigger
for most of the access keys. In Firefox on Linux, this prevents a number
of existing shortcuts (like ALT+Left arrow for browser back).

This fix allows browsers to execute those shortcuts.

Note: in Firefox on linux ALT+F E V S B T H are assigned to menus and
cannot be stopped, removing the keypress handler does not change
anything.
