Change a default shortcut on Firefox for Windows 10
Dear Firefox support.
Hi, I'd like to change a default shortcut. I'd like to use Ctrl + Shift + N to open a private browser window. The default shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + P, but in every other browser it is Ctrl + Shift + N, so I'd like that also in Firefox that shortcut would be Ctrl + Shift + N. Is there a way to change it?
Thanks for the support.

I dont know? Seems like pressing keys is more work than just clicking a mouse button.
Have you tried right clicking on the taskbar shortcut for opening private windows?
Yes, of course I tried, but it is not what I want to do. To really work less you should never take your hands off the keyboard.
true!
You can possibly achieve this with code in an autoconfig.cfg file, but "Ctrl+Shift+N" is taken by Undo Closed Window and thus isn't available and you would have to remove this shortcut key as well.
