I use the add-on Menu Editor & have hidden the History & certain Tools. To access Menu Editor I simply press ctrl + shift + S Today however, a weird subscreen appeared at bottom of my browser. I figured out that under Tools there is an option for Web Developer (Debugger) that requires the same combination of keys to open. Now I cannot open Menu Editor at all. I tried to run in Safe Mode and could not get it to run in Safe Mode. I cannot access my add-ons at all because that is one button I have hidden.

How do I fix this? I don't care about Web Developer, don't know how to use it & most likely never will. I just want things to go back to the way they were before everyone starting messing around with firefox.

You might be able to switch one of them using the keyconfig extension from here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=72994

(Not helpful to you, but the NoScript extension also uses Ctrl+Shift +s and somehow it overrides the built-in debugger shortcut.)

Note that things may change because in future Firefox versions those developer tool keys entries appear to have moved to a different DOM location (keyset#devtoolsKeyset) and are no longer under keyset#mainKeyset.
