Alas, Firefox doesn't allow changing any keybindings without modifying the source code. The bugzilla ticket about this is already 2 decades old.

One potential workaround, if you're okay with using extra software, is making a script with AutoHotKey to intercept Ctrl+Alt+X and fire a different key combo in its stead.

This doesn't fix the issue with the Firefox but, you know, it's something.

Stupid question but can't you just change your translate shortcut?

I can but this shortcut is very convenient

Firefox is very customizable so I thought I can edit some settings in about:config to fix this

AFAIK you can’t
