O.S.I.R -- Firefox Bafflement Edition

Ohhhhhkaaaayyyyy....this makes sense:
(Using Firefox 39)

Ctrl+Shift+Q brings up a new tab and loads Youtube.
Ctrl+Shift+W shuts firefox down,
and Ctrl+Shift+G loads the 'Find text in tab" searchbox.
Now how is Ctrl+Shift+G a better combination than Ctrl+F ? (Which also works just fine)
And what is the G a mnemonic for? (It better not be grep, 'nixheads)
So what was wrong with Alt+F4 that needed Ctrl+Shift+W to replace it?

The googles claim that Ctrl+Shift+Q should bring up Foxclock addon Zone Picker, or the Network Monitor, depending on your Kool-Aid taste of the day, I guess.Why Youtube?


....oh and now my URL is right-justified. Why? How? Why would right justification ever be needed in a URL bar?

Dammit, Mozilla!

After 26 versions --apparently to tweak every pixel--can't you get  your bookmark display right?
I have hundreds upon hundreds of bookmarks. Scrolling to the bottom of the list can take a non-trivial amount of time.
Now I know that people must have complained about this, so that you added a MRUD style menu option, and I understand that its limited to 10 entries for logical& humane reasons. but I might store thirty bookmarks in a given day. So why the hell can't there be an option to menu-list bookmarks in reverse order? Most recent on top? So that I scroll down to go backwards in time, rather than scroll down to go forwards.
Its frusterating, its counter-intuitive,and its probably the most common irritation I have with Firefox.
It bugs me on a daily basis.

...Perhaps I'm 'holding it wrong.'
