Disable Downloads
We have deployed Firefox across multiple sites in our company. We are looking for a way to disable the "CTRL+J" shortcut that opens the download manager. In fact, for the purpose of the profile that we are using, we do not need the download manager at all.
So far I was able to find a plugin that will allow us to disable the keyboard shortcut (Customizable-Shortcuts by Tim Taubert) which would meet our needs, but it always our preference to use our lockPref profile.
The solution that I tried didn't seem to work (preventing panel shown and toolkit UI) [Preferences below are for purposes of illustration. I am aware that syntax is not correct.]
browser.download.panel.shown=false browser.download.useToolkitUI=false
I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this and if anyone has an idea.
Thanks.

I don't know if this will help;
CCK2 Wizard {web link} Need to customize Firefox? With the CCK2 Wizard, you can create custom Firefox configurations that can be installed as extensions or deployed with AutoConfig.
Note that this shortcut normally opens the Bookmarks/History Manager (Library) with the Downloads folder selected. The Library can be accessed in many ways and there is also the about:downloads page that can be opened via the location bar. So I'm not sure what the reason is for disabling this keyboard shortcut.
Hi,
I've explored the CCK2 wizard extensionally. It doesn't suit our needs as it is a pretty bloated way of achieving the exact same thing we've done in our policies.
You are correct that the shortcut opens the Library view instead of directly to a downloads view.
We did not provide a reason for this to be disabled only that it should be. We have an application that is being interfered with by this combination.

You could opt for a simple extension that disables this shortcut key.
