Review summary

Shortkeys lets you customize Firefox shortcuts, which can improve workflow (e.g., back navigation and text search features). However, many users report major reliability and compatibility problems: installs fail or extensions become greyed out after updates, and the addon seems abandoned or under-maintained. It also has significant limitations: many common shortcuts cannot be remapped, and behavior is inconsistent across pages and the URL bar. This mix of possible benefits and frequent issues explains mixed user satisfaction.

Pros

Allows remapping/overriding Firefox shortcuts to suit your workflow.
Useful for tasks like back navigation (Backspace) and searching selected text.
Can disable certain shortcuts (for example Ctrl+U) to prevent accidental activations.

Cons

Reliability problems: installation failures or the extension becoming corrupt after Firefox or OS updates, with it often appearing greyed out.
Perceived lack of ongoing maintenance; described as abandoned or years without updates.
Limited/remains rigid: cannot remap many common shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+W, Ctrl+Alt modifiers, Cmd+Shift+N) and does not always respect Firefox’s tab behavior.
Inconsistent or non-functional on some pages, including the URL bar.
