Force a change to a program's key bindings

Question
Is it possible to force a change to a program's keybindings? E.g., instead of an menu action being invoked by Cmd-J it's Cmd-K?
The reason I ask is that Cmd-Q in Firefox drives me nuts. I occasionally hit it instead of Cmd-W (to close a tab) & I have to wait for my entire instance of Firefox to stop & then restart. I'd love to bind "Quit" to something ridiculous (or remove it all together).
My hope is this is in a resource file that's easily hacked?
Solution
No resource file hacking necessary; it's all built in to the GUI. And not only that, but Apple's even documented it:
(the above assumes you're on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, but everyone with a supported system should be by now.)
