Thanks. I think I already did most of those. But the tab bar is still there, taking up space. And apparently I can't remap keys without an extension, or something.

You can disable the tab bar with a "user chrome" file such as https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/blob/master/src/static/... (instructions at top of file).
Mozilla is making noises about disabling this eventually, but it works for now.

I've been using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-... but it seems this isn't going to make it into the Firefox Quantum era. :(
I use tree style tabs, and wanted to get rid of the redundant tabs at the top. I used the following:
Also uncheck "Open new windows in a new tab instead" in Options in GUI or set browser.link.open_newwindow to 2 instead of 3 (it's the same thing) to make pop ups open in new windows instead of tabs.
There might be an extension to remap the Ctrl/Shift shortcut or abandon tabs altogether but I don't know of any.
Googling turns up results like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ but it's of course not compatible with Quantum.
