How I can I disable Firefox's shortcut key for {Ctrl + Shift + C} so that Firebug can take it's usual action of element selection? This has only recently started since Firefox updated itself to v25.0.

You could disable the built-in Inspector by setting the devtools.inspector.enabled to false on the about:config page (search devtools.*.enabled for more).

Try out this add-on; Customizable Shortcuts. It not only lets you know what the sortcuts are, but you can change them if you want. Customizable Shortcuts

Keys that are found under the devtoolsKeyset might be harder to modify with an extension.
Note that you can also do this via the Options button the Developer toolbox.
