[Bug 1037446] [NEW] type-ahead search in global-app-menu->Bookmarks doesn't work

[ts]

Public bug reported:

Firefox used to offer accessing bookmarks from the bookmarks menu [alt-b] directly using type-ahead search.
This feature seems to be broken in the global-app-menu integration

reproduce: 
* install firefox
* add bookmarks
* hit [alt-b]
* hit any character

Firefox should directly jump to the bookmarks starting with the pressed
character, but it doesn't.
