The shortcut to bring it up (fn+shift+f2) is pretty unwieldy on the Mac keyboard.

Anyone have any idea on how to change the shortcut? No luck in about:config.

You can also get at the menubar through the keyboard:

alt-T W v

which looks a little unwieldy, except you don't have to move from the home keys, and I find it much easier to type than

hands up, look for fn, left middle to shift and left index to fn, right middle float up and over to f2

You can muscle memory a short menubar keyboard sequence pretty quickly if you use it enough.

You can remap individual applications' keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences > Keyboard settings. For this case, the keyboard shortcut should remap the menu item "Developer Toolbar". I like to remap CMD+Q to something harmless like "Hide Others" to avoid accidentally quitting apps. :)
Isn't it really just "shift+f2" ? But your keyboard doesn't have an f2 key, so you have to press "fn" to get "f2" ?

Of course that doesn't help you, but this has annoyed me on mac, and I think they deserve the blame ;)
