How can I disable or change native firefox hotkeys?
I installed a plugin that lets me modify my hotkeys for it and I want to use Ctrl+E to use one of the options in the plugin.
I am not able to do so because Ctrl+E focuses the search bar. I've not been able to find a way around this.
How can I disable that hotkey, change it, give the plugin precedence, or otherwise make this work?

One can do a search to find this pretty quickly.

Did you read the post? the OP is asking for options on how to change the KB shortcuts in Firefox and not what are the default KB shortcuts in Firefox.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
There were such add-ons per Quantum. I don't know if there are any now.

I installed the Saka key plugin but as far as I could tell there was no way to change the Ctrl+E hotkey, though many others were listed.

I did take a look earlier and one just now with a term I hadn't used before but didn't find anything that would help.
Hello bmcn99,
Would you give this a try :
Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)
Type in the search bar permissions.default.shortcuts
and (just to try) set its value to 2
0 = unknown action (default value) 1 = allow action 2 = deny action 3 = prompt action
If that doesn't do what you want, then change the value back to its default.
After you've changed a value, close and restart Firefox.
Note : changing the value will not affect only that one keyboard shortcut ......
