Shift+control+A conflicts between FF4 and blogger: When I want to create a hyperlink, the add-on tab opens.

Blogger has long used Shift+Control+A as the keyboard command for inserting hyperlinks. Now that I've switched to FF4, I discover that it's also the command for opening the add-ons tab. I can still create a hyperlink but every time I do, I have to close the add-on tab. This is a nuisance when writing a link-heavy post. Since I blog regularly on several different Blogger pages, the annoyance factor is growing regularly.

I checked the Keyboard Shortcuts page and read, "Firefox does not provide any method of customizing keyboard shortcuts." Is this absolute? If so, I suggest deleting or changing the FF4 hotkey since Blogger has years of precedence with this command.
