Disable Ctrl-Q and Cmd-Q

Overrides the Ctrl-Q and Command-Q shortcut so that you cannot accidentally quit Firefox. To quit anyway, use the 'Quit Firefox' menu item.

Disable Ctrl-Q and Cmd-Q: Add-on for Firefox

'Disable Ctrl-Q and Cmd-Q' is a Firefox add-on designed to prevent unintentional quit from Firefox by overriding default shortcut keys. Particularly useful when operating in private browsing mode, as session restore doesn't restore such tabs. Additionally, an about:config change is suggested for Firefox 87+. Note: Currently, this add-on does not operate as expected in Linux.

Instead of this add-on, visit about:config and set browser.quitShortcut.disabled to true to disable Ctrl-Q/Cmd-Q. (Firefox 87+ only, since bug 52821 got fixed).

I have closed Firefox too often by accident while pressing Ctrl-Q (Linux/Windows/Mac) or Command-Q (Mac). This is especially inconvenient in private browsing mode, because such tabs are not restored by session restore when you restart Firefox.

This add-on replaces the Ctrl-Q and Command-Q shortcuts, so that upon pressing these shortcuts, Firefox does not quit any more. This add-on does not work as expected in Linux, until bug 1325692 is fixed. It works on macOS and Windows.

Instead of this add-on, visit about:config and set browser.quitShortcut.disabled to true to disable Ctrl-Q/Cmd-Q.
