I want to use standard browser hotkeys even when focus is inside adobe flash. How I can get it? I want e.g. Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+R, Ctrl+N, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+F6, F11 ... I need cross-platform solution, because I use different operating systems, but currently I use Ubuntu Linux.

Finally I found solution of problem of eating standard hotkeys by Adobe Flash. It is extension/addon Focus Regainer. It works both in Firefox & Seamonkey. It work both on Linux & Windows, and maybe on Mac OS X.
Focus Regainer allow you to use standard hotkeys when focus is within flash plugin:
1) Ctrl+T for open new tab
2) Ctrl+W for close current tab
3) Ctrl+R for refreshing page
4) Ctrl+Q for quit Firefox
5) Ctrl+L for focus URLbar/awesomebar
6) Ctrl+N for open new browser window
7) F11 for fullscreen mode
and other.
In Mac Os X you must use Cmd(Meta) button instead Ctrl.
If single pressing of some hotkey does not work, then you must use double pressing. It is Adobe Flash plugin limitation.
Alternatively you can use hotkey Ctrl+Esc or Ctrl+F12 to remove focus from embedded flash.
Alt+Esc or Alt+F12 are for moving focus back to flash object, but not always work, e.g. because html page can have multiple flash objects.
P.S.: Technical information about problem in my question with eating browser standard hotkeys is in Mozilla Bug 78414.
