I just want to disable spacebar scrolling pages in firefox 13.0.1 (or any other version not too old) by any means, maybe I can intrude some code into firefox files or is there some official option to disable the page scroll when i press spacebar?

Thanks it now worked, all I was doing wrong ( because I saw that thread before) was downloading wrong key config, there's some silly add-on made by some other developer with exactly same name but diffrent functionality [SOLVED] (Now also see related /questions/954421 )
