Can I define Alt key menu keyboard shortcuts for bookmarks in Firefox 3.6?

Example:

Tropical Weather is in the Bookmarks menu. A keyboard-only way to use this bookmark is:

Alt + B + <press down arrow key a number of times> + Enter

I would like to be able to do it this way:

Alt + B + W + Enter

Where the association of the underlined letter in the bookmark menu, W, to Tropical Weather is user-defined.

Is it possible?
