Disable Alt hotkey / Firefox Safe Mode

1

1

I like to use global hotkeys to launch my favorite apps:

  • Control+Alt+G Google Chrome
  • Control+Alt+T Terminal
  • Control+Alt+E Emacs

Using AutoHotKey, Quicksilver, or Ubuntu settings.

I'd like to be able to launch Firefox with Control+Alt+F, but Firefox has a built-in hotkey that plays foul with this setup. Turns out Firefox opens in Safe Mode when Alt is held down during launch. How can I disable this setting, so that I can launch a normal Firefox process with my preferred hotkey, Control+Alt+F?

From @saygon: With the Customizable Shortcuts plugin for Firefox you can change default hotkey values and set that to what you like. https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/

External links can disappear or be unavailable, in which case your answer would have no value. The purpose of Super User is to compile a knowledge base, so link-only answers are discouraged for this reason. The name of the plug-in can be added to the answer, which would at least allow a manual search if the link goes bad. However, plug-ins come and go, and often don't work with later versions of Firefox. With a potentially limited life, they don't make good answers. I'll move the information to a comment so it isn't lost if your answer gets deleted. – fixer1234 – 2015-01-24T18:24:48.123
