On my Firefox (in Linux, at least), doing Ctrl+H toggles the History sidebar (opening it on the left side, or, hiding the sidebar completely).

How can I disable this?

Firefox does not have a built-in feature to disable keyboard shortcuts (with very rare exceptions).

Is the problem that a page that uses Ctrl+H isn't working as expected?

Oh, it is working as expected. But every time I hit Ctrl + H is accidental. :) In other words, I don't intend to do Ctrl+H.

This is about the key command with ID "key_gotoHistory".

See this thread for code you can use with autoconfig.js and autoconfig.cfg.

Dear cor-el, I found your reply in this "key binds" post that mentions autoconfig.js and autoconfig.cfg: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1376993#answer-1505522
