Background
The key used to focus/activate various elements in Mozilla is determined by this preference. Until very recently, this preference affected both chrome and content-area elements.
Possible values and their effects

Use ui.key.chromeAccess as the access key for chrome-area elements and ui.key.contentAccess as the access key for content-area elements. (Default in recent builds)
0
Disable the access key.
17
Use the "Ctrl" key as the access key. (Default in Mac OS X)

(Other)
All possible values are defined in nsIDOMKeyEvent.idl, though they are listed there in hex (base 16) — you will need to convert the values to decimal (base 10).
