Menu
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+C in Firefox opens the developer tools and activates the "Pick element" tool.
I often mistakenly use this shortcut when I want to copy something (mixing it up with the shortcut to copy text in terminals).
It's really annoying since
One solution appeared to be the Firefox "customizable shortcuts" extensions, but it has been discontinued.
Any other idea?

Step 1: Install the Firefox extension called Customizable Shortcuts from Mozilla. Step 2: Click on the orange Firefox button, then Options. Step 3: Click on the last tab called Shortcuts. Step 4: Double-click on the shortcut you want to customize, then type in the key combination you prefer to use.
Chosen Solution Firefox 87+ versions have a pref to disable Ctrl+Q to close Firefox. browser. quitShortcut. disabled = true You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this pref.
Hi Marcus, Firefox doesn't have a built-in feature to modify or disable keyboard shortcuts, except in very selected cases. Currently extensions can modify many keyboard shortcuts by injecting scripts into pages to intercept them, but some keys are special and Firefox doesn't allow them to be intercepted and repurposed that way.
You can just add a custom shortcut for Ctrl + Q. In Ubuntu it is available directly in settings (How to). It will be captured by the OS and hence no app including Firefox would detect it. P.S. I have mapped it to play an 'Oops' sound.
Note that you need to write Control instead of Ctrl for instance to find a keyboard shortcut that uses the Ctrl-key. Options are provided to reset the selected shortcut, to edit it, or to toggle its state. Since all keys are enabled by default, that is disable for the keys.
In the Firefox's Options/ Preferences (or Edit/preferences it depends from system and version), go to the Tabs section and check the option "Warn me when closing multiple tabs". This will prevent you to close a window with multiple tab.
Install Menu Wizard, click on Keyboard shortcuts, find key_inspector, delete the shortcut.
