Hello everyone, I need to disable the F12 shortcut (which opens the console) or at least change it, since I already have other softwares which use this shortcut. Thank you

If Firefox keyboard shortcuts can not be changed or disabled, this can probably be fixed using Autohotkey, but not sure you'd want to install a separate program?

FWIW I use Autohotkey for all sorts of things in Firefox and elsewhere. Extremely useful. For example I have made F2 trigger the open new tab (Ctrl-T), as that's what I grew fond of using in Opera before I migrated to Firefox.
