If these articles aren't much help; maybe you'd like to take a look at these search results .......
Thanks for your response McCoy. I was able to remap the shortcut in chrome as it had a menu command "Open Location...". But in firefox I don't see similar command in menu to remap.

I've been doing some more searching, and I found this bug report :

That doesn't help, does it ? (sorry ..... )
It is this command in Firefox (function: openLocation();):
cor-el the second link had a comment
So, I tried the same. I kept firefox running without any window. When I looked in menu, I saw "Open Location..." and it is mapped to cmd+d as configured in the shortcuts. When I did cmd+d it did open a window and kept the focus on addressbar. But when a window is open this is not appearing in the menu and shortcut is getting mapped to bookmarks.
Any idea why Open Location is not always displayed?

I think the issue talks about something else and not this issue.
