Restartless Restart

This add-on adds a menu option for restarting Firefox. Useful if you make a change in the config that requires a restart but want to keep all the tabs that are currently open.

Closing the windows manually would not keep the tabs the next time you open the browser.

This should be a standard option, in my opinion. Especially with the browsers that require restart for changes to take effect.

Disable or change AdBlock keyboard shortcuts in Firefox

Finally found out how to disable Ctrl+Shift+V hotkey / keyboard shortcut in Firefox. This shortcut is very useful as the default behavior of "Paste as plain text".

The options are hidden from the UI but accessible through "about:config" page. The key is "extensions.adblockplus.sidebar_key".
