Some Linux distros add a lot of languages to their installer.

You can try Firefox from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution to see if it behaves differently.

On Linux you can normally use the compose key to easily type accented characters like 'ó' (F3).

There is no Alt+O keyboard shortcut on Linux.

It could be a keyboard accelerator, possibly for the menu bar, but if I change the keyboard layout to "pl", the right Alt key does not open the menu bar.

It could be specific to your Linux distribution and/or Firefox build.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

Yes still Happen in Troubleshoot mode. I don't know why if shortcut default is CTRL+O, also the same job doing simultaneous pressing ALT+O Key.

Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile.
