Configuration was done via the Shortcuts tab of the Options dialog:
Firefox 4 (4.0) and Shortcut Key for Search Bar
Once a row for the action/shortcut in question was selected, clicking on the 'Edit' button or double-clicking on the shortcut key name made it possible to type a replacement shortcut key.

Change Search Shortcut
Allows to change the search shortcut. After the comedy with Panorama taking over CTRL+E, then switching to CTRL+SHIFT+E, without restoring CTRL+E, I've decided to make this very simple plug-in to allow people to choose their own shortcut.-Change Search Shortcut
