Do you happen to know if there's a bug logged for the custom keyboard shortcut lacuna? And/or for there not being a preset shortcut for emailing links? (Yes I'm being lazy here and will look myself if you don't know).
The above two were top-of-mind examples, but, particularly with extensions, the lack of keyboard shortcuts does add quite a bit of friction to FF use for me. Perhaps not enough to send me back to Chrome (though today it cropped up often enough that I was tempted).
Another example is I haven't found a satisfactory way to add a link to Pinboard from the keyboard. There are a bunch of Pinboard extensions, but the one I like best so far (https://github.com/Cito/Pinboard-Pin) doesn't support shortcuts. In Chrome I would have been able to add my own.

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.
Thanks. 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.
