Remove shortcuts or let extensions have priority over shortcuts

Release after release Firefox is adding more shortcuts, which is nice, but it also interferes with shortcuts people use to enable/disable extensions.

Is there a way to completely disable a given Firefox shorcut without having to rebuild it? Ideally Firefox should have a friendly way to change that (UI or config file), but I accept editing binaries files.

Also, why extensions with shortcuts like Shift+D are treated as invalid and get removed?

You can change shortcuts with an autoconfig file. There's an external link which I'll post separately because it will need to be moderated.

Thanks a lot, Terry!

I managed to get rid of the screenshot shortcut (ctrl+shift+s) using cor-el's script combined with 'key_screenshot' keyword.

However, I failed to removed add to bookmark (ctrl+shift+d) using 'addBookmarkAsKb' keyword -- maybe I'm using the wrong keyword. Any tips?

Does searchfox not give you a keyword?

I found it! It turns out that the keyword for ctrl + shift + d is 'bookmarkAllTabsKb' :)

Thanks a lot!
