Ctrl+Q closes Firefox (very easy to misinput due to being so close to Ctrl+W):
browser.quitShortcut.disabled = trueI 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.
Well I just a mac mostly as well and it's not an issue... But yeah as the other guy stated turn on the prompt.
If you search up "closing" in settings there is a section that allows you to enable it.
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.
