I not sure that's possible on Firefox Quantum. XUL is deprecated and going away. WebExtensions support is up in the air. There's an outstanding bug in Bugzilla that claims Resolved Fixed in Firefox 66, but it's not clear this covers what you want. There is a recommendation there to install Saka Key, which appears to work here in Firefox 55, and there is an extension called Shortkeys . which also seems to work.

Saka tries to provide Vim style key mapping. Shortkeys uses more standard maps. But both seem to only work in tabs where you are viewing sites. Firefox doesn't seem to permit global key mapping affecting the entire browser, so it may not be possible to simply disable ^B/^I.

There are instructions elsewhere for opening and editing the omni.ja file where this stuff is defined as another method short of recompiling FF from source, but I haven't really looked at it.

Why do you want to disable ^B/^I? What wuld you use instead to perform the function?
