    You can customize browser-internal shortcuts with a script in your profile dir.
    For example this is my script

    ‹user profile›/chrome/removeshortcuts.uc.js 
    var ids = `

viewBookmarksSidebarKb
key_quitApplication
openFileKb
key_savePage
printKb
goBackKb2
goForwardKb2
addBookmarkAsKb
bookmarkAllTabsKb
manBookmarkKb
viewBookmarksToolbarKb

`.replace(/\s+/g,' ').trim().split(' ');


ids.forEach( id=>{
    var key = document.getElementById(id);
    if (key) key.remove();
});


⁤
var originalKey = document.getElementById("key_screenshot");
if (originalKey) {
    // Clone the original key
    var newKey = originalKey.cloneNode(true);

    // Set the new id and shortcut for the new key
    newKey.setAttribute("id", newKey.id+"_redjard_alt");
    if (newKey.hasAttribute('data-l10n-id'))
        newKey.setAttribute("data-l10n-id", newKey.getAttribute('data-l10n-id')+"_redjard_alt");
    newKey.setAttribute("key", "S");
    newKey.setAttribute("modifiers", "accel");

    // Add the new key to the parent of the original key
    originalKey.parentNode.appendChild(newKey);
}

    ⁤

    The script removes the shortcuts listed in the beginning and adds an alternate shortcut for screenshots to ctrl+s.
    You can see all internashortcuts by opening a browser console and querying the shortcut elements (using regular javascript)

      To complete this, probably with ff117 I had to fix the way I load my userchrome files, reminding me I should probably put them here too:

      /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox.cfg 
      // firefox.cfg file needs to start with a comment line
// it is included by having the following two lines in defaults/pref/autoconfig.js:
// pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);
// pref("general.config.filename", "firefox.cfg");
// pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

var Services = globalThis.Services;
Services.obs.addObserver((aSubject, _aTopic, _aData)=>{
  var chromeWindow = aSubject;
  chromeWindow.setTimeout(()=>{
    try {
      if (chromeWindow.userChromeJsMod) return;
      chromeWindow.userChromeJsMod = true;
      var chromeFiles = chromeWindow.FileUtils.getDir("UChrm", []).directoryEntries;
      var sss = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/content/style-sheet-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIStyleSheetService);
      while (chromeFiles.hasMoreElements()) {
        var file = chromeFiles.getNext().QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIFile);
        var fileURI = Services.io.newFileURI(file);
        if (!file.isFile()) continue;
        
        if (/(^userChrome|\.uc)\.js$/i.test(file.leafName)) {
          // load userChrome.js and *.uc.js (case insensitive) as js file
          Services.scriptloader.loadSubScriptWithOptions(fileURI.spec, {
            target: chromeWindow,
            charset: "UTF-8",
            ignoreCache: true,
          });
        } else if (/\.as\.css$/i.test(file.leafName)) {
