Disable/Change Firefox Safe Mode Hotkey (Shift)

Question

Is there any way to change the firefox shift hotkey that makes firefox start in safe mode? I've set up some unit tests using Selenium and PHPUnit, but if I'm working on the machine while the tests are running then I frequently find I'm pressing shift as I type (holding shift as I select blocks of code is another big offender). This causes the test to fail (and time out) even if you click past the safe mode prompt that pops up.

Is there a way to disable this hot key, or change the key to something that I'd use less often?

I've also met with this problem and didn't find a solution. It seems that it is still an open issue: Mozilla Forums thread, Bug 653410, Bug 644175 and so on. As a workaround you can install firefox 3.6 as this feature was implemented since firefox 4, but probably this will not suite you.
