Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:88.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/88.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have Tourette's Syndrome which end up with a lot of uncontrolled button mashing on my keyboard and mouse. This very often end up triggering some action. For my mouse, it is most often loading the previous page, and on the keyboard it typically end up in menus by hitting alt and then some random combination of menu navigation and occasionally activation when the spacebar gets hit in just the right order.

Expected results:

I would like the ability to re-map or entirely disable some actions from the keyboard and mouse.

Bonus if that configuration syncs with my firefox profile and works across installations.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
