I often hit ^T (control-T) in firefox without meaning to, because I use that chord in other applications a lot. In firefox it opens a new tab, which is almost never what I want. I'd like to suppress that keyboard shortcut. I tried doing it using vimium (unmap <c-t>) but that has no effect.

Thank you, Silvio

You could try about:keyboard, which is an experimental feature so it might not work. New tab is the first item in the list of things you could change.

Thank you for this awesome tip (and for the feature, if you are a developer). I couldn't reply earlier as my laptop was flaky and I didn't want to risk a firefox upgrade (I was at 135 which didn't yet have about:keyboard).

Anyway, problem solved. Thanks a million!
