Comment (by cpwc):

 Here's a small patch that adds the hotkeys to the current TorBrowser
 5.5.5. The "keyset" in torbutton.xul does the work. The change in
 popup.xul just makes it so the shortcuts are displayed next to the
 commands in the torbutton menu. Works for me. Thanks cypherpunks and mcs
 for leading the way.
