How to disable menu popping up when I press ALT key.

Is there a way I can disable the menu that pops up when I press ALT key? I use it as a hot-key on teamspeak and it's really annoying to see the menu every time I press ALT.

If you have the Menu Bar showing all the time, the Alt will be disabled and hitting it won't reveal the Menu Bar. Use Show/Hide Toolbars to have the Menu Bar always show in Firefox.
