I'll start: Opening new tabs all the way to the right or bottom, rather than next to the current tab. Its especially disorienting on vertical tabs, I lose track of which (I changed the setting but its still annoying on blank Firefox profiles).

Ctrl+Q closes Firefox (very easy to misinput due to being so close to Ctrl+W): browser.quitShortcut.disabled = true

Oh my god, one time I wrote a really long reddit post but lost it because I accidentally pressed CMD Q instead of W. This would've save my ass A LOT.

Now I use nix home manager to declare and auto-apply firefox config settings, I just added this one.

I dont find this an issue for me. And even if it was my firefox asks for confirmation before quitting for me.

I have no issues with ctrl Q. But for some reason cmd Q I hit all the time on accident on Macs.

Cmd+Q is the universal Exit command in Mac! Hopefully you add a prompt on exit to prevent losing your work.
