I'll start: Opening new tabs all the way to the right or bottom, rather than next to the current tab. Its especially disorienting on vertical tabs, I lose track of which (I changed the setting but its still annoying on blank Firefox profiles).

Ctrl+Q closes Firefox (very easy to misinput due to being so close to Ctrl+W): browser.quitShortcut.disabled = true

    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.

    I 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.

    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.
