Disable keyboard shortcuts?
Hi,
There used to be a nice little add on for Firefox that let me select keyboard shortcuts that I wanted to disable. It worked great until another masterful Firefox upgrade came along and nuked it. This was the same 'improved version' that made it so that new tabs no longer opened to my homepage.
It would be really really helpful to stop releasing upgrades that break existing functionality.
ARGH!!

With Firefox 41 (and higher), it's no longer possible to customize the page shown in a new tab via changing the preference browser.newtab.url in about.config. Because of the fact that hijackers abused the preference in the past, Mozilla decided to remove it (see bug 1118285). Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla also introduced a new API to bring this functionality back to life as an add-on. This add-on allows the user to choose a certain page in a new tab.

This is also available using Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) {web link} Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).
Have you checked for an update for what you were using before? What is it called?
Not what you were looking for, but . . . Customizable Shortcuts {web link} Allows to customize Firefox shortcuts.
Thanks for your notes. The customizable shortcut link that you provided is the one that I was using, which appears to have 'broken' with FF42.
Too bad, because I often fat finger some combination of keys
Check with it's support site.
You can also look at keyconfig.
