Ctrl-Q (quit application) right next to Ctrl-W (close tab) has been bad UX since forever.

That bug was actually fixed in the Dvorak release...
I bind ctrl-q to lock screen in gnome, which is less bad than losing the whole browser.
I suppose you could also bind it to a noop.
You can tell firefox to ask before quitting ...
You can also tell Firefox to ignore it completely:
browser.quitShortcut.disabled
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnQuitShortcut
> browser.quitShortcut.disabled
The setting is there, it's editable, but Firefox seems to completely ignore it on Linux.
At least up to 145.0.1.
Hmm, maybe it’s still necessary to rebind ctrl-q in some cases.
This says gnome has ctrl-q to quit applications:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/OS/KeyboardShortcuts
I don’t know if the above is still the default, but I have this in my gnome setup scripts anyway:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys screensaver “[‘<Control>q’]”
I use 144.0.2 on Linux and it works entirely fine here.
and testing it now, it asks me by default, and I never changed that setting

On a German PC keyboard, @ is ALT+Q.
That was a big problem when I switched to macOS. I kept hitting CMD+Q every time I tried to type an email address.
