    For me, customizable keybinds are mandatory, so this addon is a god-send.

    The only problem I see is that it waits for the page to be fully loaded before working.

    If this can be fixed (maybe loading content scripts on page opening / removing load checks for appropriate actions like tab switching), I'll update my rating to 5 instead of 4.

    Loved it on Chrome and was very glad to find it here!
    One thing still bothers me though - the sites filter doesn't work whether I'm trying to restrict site pattern or whitelist others..

    It it just me?

    Nice plugin, but I keep loosing my configuration after a while (possibly due clearing the cache)!
    this is the third time that this happened!

    Would it be possible to have the shortcuts defined in the extension have higher priority than those in the page? I use alt+arrow to switch tabs, but it only works if I'm not in a text field otherwise it tries to navigate within the field (a function I don't really use).

    Apart from that I greatly enjoy the addon as it's the only webextension I know off able to customize keyboard shortcuts in Firefox Nightly.

    New version works well. Running bookmarklets didn't appear to work though

    I'll rate again later, I haven't tried it yet as it says it's "not compatible with Firefox 55.0.2" so I'll have to wait for FF 57. I need it because the KeyBinder addon I was using won't be upgraded to WebExtensions.

    Quick question: can I use it to assign the function keys to the downloads window and to the bookmarks sidebar, so that I can open them quickly?

    EDIT: I'm not a coder so i can't submit pull requests to your github, and the issues section seems disabled. Since this is a FF-specific request, I cannot open an issue for the original chrome-shortkeys either...

    EDIT: Issues now enabled on Github. I looked into the current API for webextension on FF, and the API for opening the Downloads window/bookmark panel. Sorry

    Hi there,
    there's no need to wait for FF57, this will become compatibile with earlier version of FF (47-*) with the new version of the addon. It's already submmitted and awaiting review from AMO.

    Bookmarks window and Downloads window is not currently supported. Feel free to submit a PR or open an issue on github: https://github.com/pmalecka/chrome-shortkeys

    Currently the following actions are supported:
    - Run custom JS
    - Do nothing (for disabling a Chrome shortcut you don't like)
    - Open a bookmark or bookmarklet
    - Scroll up/down/left/right by a little or a lot
    - Scroll to the top or bottom of the page
    - Go back or forward in history
    - Jump to existing tab by URL
    - Open new tab with URL
    - Switch to the previous/next/first/last tab
    - Create a new tab or close the current tab
    - Clone the current tab
    - Close all (unpinned) tabs except for current tab
    - Reload the page
    - Copy the current URL
    - Pin/Unpin the current tab
    - Move the current tab left or right
    - Zoom in/out/reset
    - Blacklist or whitelist specific shortcuts on specific sites
    - Clear downloads (page and bar)
    - Click button and switch to next tab (for Tribal Wars players)

    For some reason, this add-on is hardcoded to only work in Firefox versions 50 or earlier:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/files/browse/570549/file/manifest.json#L24

    Update: The problem was fixed. Thanks!
