    Worked well, now it's defunct.

    Unfortunately does not work on Kubuntu/Linux. I'll re-review if this is fixed, but currently it's completely useless on my platform of choice.

    I installed it, pressed CTRL+Q, and Firefox immediately exited. Started Firefox, pressed CTRL+Q and the Firefox immediately exited. I guess I'll have to keep looking for an extension to fix this. :-(

    This doesn't work for me (Firefox 57.0.1 on Debian Stretch with i3wm)

    Unfortunately, the add-on doesn't work – Ctrl+q still closes Firefox. I'm running it on two machines, both of which run the i3 window manager on Ubuntu (17.04 and 17.10, respectively) and Firefox 57.0.1.

    Confirmed, sorry for that, I hope that you did not accidentally lose your tabs. I have edited the add-on description to state that it does not work on Linux for now until https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1325692 is fixed.

    For now, you can use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-ctrl-q-shortcut/. That add-on will cease to work by the end of this year though. Hopefully the linked bugzilla issue will be fixed by then, so you can install this add-on again to get it to work (or keep the add-on installed; although it does not work right now, it does no harm either).

    If you want to manually prevent the Ctrl-Q shortcut from working, open the global JavaScript console (Ctrl-Shift-J) and run the following code. This needs to be done for every new window.
    document.getElementById('key_quitApplication').remove()
