This is only because Firefox is a Windows application masquerading as
a gtk application in linux. The gnome hid says that users should be
able to change keyboard shortcuts for menu items by hovering the mouse
over the item (or at least, highlighting the item) and pressing the
new shortcut (backspace once clears). Try it in any hid-compliant gtk
program.
Disabling Alt-← in a real gtk browser (like galeon or epiphany) is as
easy as going into the "Go" or "View" or whatever menu, highlighting
"Back", and hitting backspace over it.
