1. Fast Logout does the equivalent of ctrl+alt+del on a windows computer. No one will be able to do anything with your computer without entering the proper password.
2. (a) As far as I know, one can only use a single non-modifier key in a trigger. But if you are going to press multiple keys anyway, you can invoke QS, bring up Firefox by the normal method, and then choose the Assign Abbreviation action in the second pane. This will let you set an abbreviation (such as "fx") that will always match with Firefox. Then it becomes a matter of a keypress to invoke QS and typing fx, which is about the same amount of work as pressing a multiple key trigger would be. (b) You can use any combination of modifier keys to create a trigger. You could make a trigger that only uses ⌘R, or one that uses ⌥⌘G, or ⇧⌥2, or any other number of modifiers.
