I am new to Firefox, and have just discovered that in order to open a new private window I must use the Ctrl + Shift + P keyboard shortcut which is pretty much impossible to accomplish with one hand. I tried to use this extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shortkeys/

But sadly my new added shortcuts were not opening the new private window while the ctrl + shift + p still worked, and it appears that this extension is only able to add new shortcuts and not change nor delete the existing ones. I want to assign a comfortable keyboard shortcut for opening a we private window (optionally unassign the Ctrl + Shift + N from Undo close window and assign that keyboard to open a new private window).

Beyond the Addon or 3rd party software to change to custom keycombo what firefox has for keycombo is the standard default layout. You have to find a Addon or 3rd party software that will do what you ask but Firefox has a standard keycombo layout that what it comes with.
