This is Firefox Bug 429824 - User-defined (custom, System Preferences) shortcuts don't work

I found this extension that lets you add or custom keyboard shortcuts for many Firefox menu items. It mentions the Email Link menu item, but I didn't dig much deeper.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to assign shortcuts to extensions.
- crispinb 10y agoThanks. I'll keep an eye out on 429824. Actually I'll need to as it turns out after a few hours more use that emailing links is something I use too much in the course of work to be willing to reach for the mouse (and the 'My Keyboard Navigator' doesn't work for this purpose on the mac). I wouldn't have known this without a few days experimentation, which in itself says something interesting about UX & (my) self-knowledge. For now, it'll have to be back to Chrome, with Safari as a back up for hot days.
