How to change Mozilla Firefox quit shortcut?
Firefox offers no built-in editor for key bindings.
I have successfully used the Customizable Shortcuts extension which allows you to disable Ctrl+Q
Keybinder is based on the (discontinued) Customizable Shortcuts add-on by Tim Taubert.
To disable the shortcut without installing extensions:
- Type
about:config
in the address bar - Type
browser.showQuitWarning
in the search field - Change the value to
true
Firefox does not allow changing shortcut keys out of the box (not even in About:config
).
As far as I know, you have two options:
For only disabling ctrl+q, you can use the very simple Disable ctrl-q extension.
For customizing other shortcuts, including ctrl+q, you can install Menu Wizard. To use it, access
Tools->Menu Wizard
and click the keyboard icon on the top right (in LTR layout) to display the list of shortcuts and select a new one.
Note: the Customizable Shortcuts
extension mentioned in the previous answer was discontinued and removed by its author (although the source code can still be found on github). Edit 2016-08-02: the add-on keybinder seems to be a successor to Customizable Shortcuts, although I haven't tried it personally.
