Did you again update content/browser/browser.xul
in /usr/lib/firefox-$RELEASE/chrome/browser.jar (I'm using the settings
of my FC3 system here)? I have to edit that file with every Firefox
update on my system to get those two keys working in Firefox again. (It
could be possible to write a small extension to do just that. I haven't
yet tried to do that.)
