Another great Firefox example is the shortcut for "close all the tabs" (ctrl+shift+q), which also happens to be adjacent to "go to previous tab" (ctrl+shift+tab). Depending on your preferences, there won't even be a warning popup if you accidentally press it.
My personal favourite is the "clear" button at the bottom of forms, right next to the "submit" button.
I haven't seen a form with a clear button in 20 years.

"as is YouTube jumping to a different part of the video every time you bump one of the numerical keys on your keyboard. "
Niche workflows? This is one of the most useful features! :)

You animal, you!
my cats seem to always step on the numeric keys when I watch youtube..
Tip: you can use ctrl+shift+n to reopen the lost window.
I accidentally clicked "Forget about this site" on an item with google domain in Firefox history recently. Cue 5-minute freeze and having to re-login, not to mention losing the entire browser-local googling history.
Firefox deleting every single one of your pinned tabs on close if you have a second window open is an example of this, as is YouTube jumping to a different part of the video every time you bump one of the numerical keys on your keyboard.
