“I doubt people left Firefox because it didn’t have key binds,” says one commenter. I almost did. It was only marginally less work to find a good way to stop ^W from accidentally closing all my firefox tabs than it would’ve been to switch to a different browser.
Maybe regular users of Firefox didn’t leave because of it, but I’m sure a number of people who were trying out Firefox decided not to switch because of it

Back in the XUL days (pre Firefox 57) it was possible for an extension to muck with keyboard bindings. So only 90 versions later :)
I’m looking forward to being able to disable the ^q quit shortcut, at the very least.
Maybe these shortcuts will come to the Android app too! !remindme 20 years
I went to opera in like idk 2008? Then eventually opera turned into Chromium and removed all of that. Womp.
