Mozilla is not a GTK application in that sense.  And how do you test 
this?
Neither Mozilla or gnome-terminal does something with Alt or Meta by 
default.
Are you running Gnome?  I suspect some GTK/Gnome setting because my
Emacs can distinguish Alt and Meta, but Gnome applications can not,
they see Meta as Alt (i.e. the reverse of what you have).

And you are running with emacs -q --no-site-file?
