Firebug shortcut {Ctrl + Shift + C} toggles Firefox Developer Tools instead of Firebug Inspect Element

Question

Since Firefox updated itself to version 28 (running on Windows 7), I can not get the Firebug shortcut for element inspection to work (Ctrl+Shift+C). When I press this key combination, the default Developer Tools window pops up. In earlier versions of Firefox this problem could be tackled by simply unchecking/disabling the Inspector tool in the settings of Firefox' Development Tools. However, this checkbox is no longer there:

I tried the following:

• Reinstalled Firefox and Firebug.
• In about:config, I searched for devtools.*.enabled, and set all values to false.
• I downloaded an addon called Customizable Shortcuts, but changing any of the shortcuts did not solve my problem, the new shortcuts do not get recognized.
• In the default Firebug Shortcut Bindings window, changing any of the shortcuts does not affect anything, similarly, the new shortcuts do not get recognized.

Even when I bind the Firebug inspector to a shortcut that isn't in use (i.e., Ctrl+Shift+Alt+6) it still does not get recognized:

It looks like Firebug is prevented from assigning any key combination, or maybe there something else going on.

Any help would be appreciated!

I fixed that in issue 6991, which is included in Firebug 2.0 alpha 1. Let me know if it works for you.
