Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141027150301

Steps to reproduce:

Now that we can change the key bindings in the editor preferences, the editor is itercepting key combinations that are crucial to the functioning of firefox.

The two that cause the most trouble in my experience (using Sublime shortcuts) are accel-L and accel-T. This being the relevant file: http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/devtools/sourceeditor/codemirror/keymap/sublime.js

That said, I think that letting the developer choose which key bindings to use is a better solution than simply removing those that may cause conflicts, as most developers like to customize their setup. The ideal solution would be to allow devs to import their own .sublime-keymap file.
