Shortcuts do not work on all tabs #14

I have tried to set Alt+down and Alt+up fro next/previous tab. It works usually, but does not work on Addons tab or New (empty) tab.

Yup, this is correct, I'll update the addon description on AMO. The thing is that due to the way the API is setup on Firefox - the addon only works in a context of a webpage. Pages like about:newtab, about:addons or any other internal pages do not allow the WebExt to execute (security policy, same as in chrome). We are waiting for a new API to solve these issues.

Is that bug 1411795 or another one? Thanks in advance.

Pin Unpin Tab 2.0 has no issue getting its keyboard shortcut to work on about:addons, about:blank, when the location bar is focused, or any of the other situations you claim are due to lacking API support in Firefox.
