Browser-Page key shortcut conflict

I use Alt+n to quickly access my tabs.
However, I noticed these are also the key combinations used by the forums to mark all forums as read, launch advanced search, and probably some more (my FreeBSD Forums tab is almost always at the same location so I don't really know the rest xd).

Even worse, I can't change these keys, neither on the forums nor on the browser. So every time I hit, say, Alt+4 to access the Forums' tab, I also get hit with that "Search Threads" page, and have to go back, because I keep forgetting about this little detail.

Could these shortcuts be changed to something else, like ^S for launching advanced search? Or at least keep them the way they are, and just let the user customize them instead?
I don't seem to have found any threads related to this, which is kinda odd. Do people here really not use key shortcuts on their web browser? : )

Weird... I just tried this on ungoogled-chromium and there was no conflict. Maybe just a Firefox thing?
 
I just found this. On the homepage the first couple are the same. After some poking around I found these on the homepage:

MAccount widget
,DMs
.Notifications
/Search
1Expand forums list
2Expand What's new list
 
i see, i did imagine that those would be the shortcuts of XenForo itself right after posting this
but are those really hardcoded into XenForo's code? are there any forums where the keys are different?
