Deactivate default short-cut ctrl+shift+w
I use Firefox' short cuts a lot, especially ctrl+w to close the current tab. However it happens every sometimes that I additionally press shift making Firefox close all tabs. As this is very annoying (and because I never used ctrl+shift+w deliberately) I want to deactivate this short cut. Is there any way I can achieve that?

Not sure if this well help or not.
Copy/Paste Keyboard into the search box in above, will know why C/paste. All the usual ways I can find are not applicable to Quantum. There are still Extensions being worked on, check above URL on/off to see if something changes. Below is list of known addons being worked on.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Maybe set this pref to false to avoid closing the window and use undo closed tab.
- browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab
There is this extension for Ctrl+Q as a more dangerous combination.
- Disable Ctrl-Q and Cmd-Q: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/disable-ctrl-q-and-cmd-q/

Yeah, I couldn't find an extension doing that myself either. The list you mention is nice, it seems that other people are aware of the problem that add-ons currently can't override standard short-cuts: https://bugzil.la/1325692

Nice idea, but doesn't help, still all tabs are closed thus closing the whole window. Also the add-on you mention fits quite good here and is interesting, but at least did not work on my FF 58.
Do you get the warning that closing the window will close a whole bunch of tabs so you can cancel at that point?
If that's disabled, you could check whether you can turn it back on here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste warnon and pause while the list is filtered
If any of the preferences are bolded and "modified" to false, you could double-click them to restore the default value of true and see whether that helps.

Good idea, I looked it up, but sadly all “warnon” entries are neither bolded nor false, they're already true. Still, there's no warning before all tabs are closed so I can't cancel at that point.

On Linux with browser.tabs.warnOnClose set to true I get a warning when I press Ctrl+Shift+W. This is regardless of the startup setting. Note that you can set this pref to 1 to show a restore button on the Tab bar.
- browser.tabs.restorebutton = 1
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Hi, thanks for your time! So I figured what causes FF to not display the warning: I had the option to open the last session's windows and tabs on startup enabled because I feared losing them otherwise in case FF crashes and I don't click on the restore button the next time I open it. Once I unticked it, I saw the warning again.
Indeed the ctrl+shift+w does not make me lose my open sites because with that option enabled they get automatically restored, but it's annoying. Which is why I asked this question in the first place. But thanks, now I know at least why I am not being warned.
