- Rated 2 out of 5by LucasPestana, 2 years ago> Instead of this add-on, visit "about:config" and set "browser.quitShortcut.disabled" to "true" to disable Ctrl+Q/Cmd+Q.
Since many users reported your extension didn't work for them, I went straight for this setting instead. It works perfectly, thank you for this plain instruction, Rob W.
I'd also recommend y'all to read THIS instead: https://superuser.com/a/1352295/599625 -- instructions on how to neutralize Ctrl+Q (and Ctrl+Shift+Q) for numerous versions of Firefox for Linux and Windows.
Note: apparently, this preference also neutralizes Cmd+Q (⌘Q) for Firefox on macOS too, hooray! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29081356#29082023
However, it appears Ctrl+Shift+Q could still appears as a global Quit shortcut in the drop-down menu (I am a Windows user, running Firefox Developer Edition, currently at version 102); I just tested it prior to disabling the preference above: there are no prompts, no warnings, nothing. The whole browser simply closes rather abruptly.
Please try to make your extension disable Ctrl+Shift+Q as well.Developer response
posted 2 years agoAfter changing the preference via about:config, the browser must be restarted for it to be fully effective. If that does not work, then you should file a bug report at bugzilla.mozilla.org - Rated 1 out of 5by Hutch, 4 years agoDoes not seem to work on Windows 10, Firefox 85.0.2. I installed the add-on and tried Ctrl+Shift+Q...and my browser closed. I thought, okay, maybe it needs a restart to work. So I opened it back up and tried it again...same thing. I was on a regular web page when I tried it, not a special browser page (which I think add-ons don't normally work on).
If I did something wrong or if this is fixed, let me know, and I'll change my rating. - Rated 1 out of 5by Aria, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gz, 6 years agoWorks as expected on macOS, the shortcut no longer quits Firefox.
On GNU/Linux it doens't work as stated in the description, until upstream adds the necessary APIs. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14462028, 6 years agoDoesn't work. Ctrl-q still quits Firefox 62.0.2.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Aufbeschissener Kunde, 6 years agoWorked great until Mozilla changed the panic-quit command from Ctrl+Q to Ctrl+Shift+Q, which I've accidentally mashed, so this extension no longer does anything. (Experienced in Firefox 62.0.2, Windows 7, 64-bit.)
