User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b8) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b8

In OS X you can use the Keyboard preference pane of System Preferences to create custom shortcuts for any menu item in any program. Additionally, you can create custom shortcuts for menu items that already have a shortcut built-in; according to Apple's HID guidelines, when a custom shortcut is created the existing built-in one is supposed to be disabled. Because of chronically pressing command-q instead of command-w when I want to close a tab, I have remapped "Quit Firefox" to be shift-command-q. I've done this with Chrome and Safari as well, and in those cases command-q no longer closes the browser. In Firefox, the menu now shows the new shortcut, but both shortcuts quit Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Preferences - Keyboard
2. Under Shortcuts, create a new custom one for Firefox; menu = "Quit Firefox", shortcut = "shift-command-q".
3. Quit Firefox (if running) and re-open. New shortcut is shown next to "Quit Firefox".
Actual Results:  
Both "command-q" and "shift-command-q" now quit Firefox.

Expected Results:  
Only "shift-command-q" should remain active, per Apple's interface design guidelines.
