I have been using Firefox for years on Windows and I do a lot with keyboard. For example, Ctrl-Y shows the downloads. And now on Ubuntu all this is broken. I need an easy way to set Windows-Firefox keyboard shortcuts for Ubuntu-Firefox.

There is a KeyConfig extension. it seems to be the least painful way to assign shortcut keys.
See this page: Change Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts
Although it does not contain preconfigured bindings for Windows.
Apart from the KeyConfig extension, there is an extension that is available on the Ubuntu extensions website and needs no Firefox restart: Customizable Shortcuts. It adds a shortcuts-tab in the preferences dialog and presents shortcuts grouped on theme. Check the Mozilla Support support website for the shortcuts as used on Windows.
First of all the shortcuts for firefox in ubuntu an d windows are a lot different (*example for downloads in ubuntu the shortcut is ctrl+shift+y) you should refer for documentation in ubuntu firefox help menu or use internet resources
