I found it crashes quite a often, but it perfectly solved the issue of needing to find out what unidentifiable app was globally taking over a specific keyboard shortcut. The best and most effective way I found for determining which application is taking over a keyboard shortcut is an app called ShortcutDetective, available freely from IrradiatedLabs. Using the shortcut itself would do nothing, no matter which app was active in the foreground. So it was tricky to figure out what app was taking over the shortcut. No other open applications showed that they were even taking over that shortcut or even using it knowingly.
Something unknown was system-wide taking over a keyboard shortcut that is common in browsers and Finder (SHIFT+COMMAND+N in this instance).
So, as stated in the SO answer, while not perfect, this will get you close to what you're looking for. If you're searching for a particular shortcut you'll have to go through each running app manually to find it. Holding down the ⌘ Command key for a couple of seconds brings up an overlay showing all of the keyboard shortcuts that are assigned to the "front most" App - in this case, Firefox. Both work in the same manner with roughly the same output (Ke圜ue is shown below).

(Thanks to user Nimesh Neema - see comments below), you can also use CheatSheet ($0 free as in beer). I downloaded and tested the application and it seems promising. However, they did recommend an application ( Ke圜ue from Ergonis, €19 Free Trial) that has the ability to find all of the shortcuts that are assigned to an application (i.e. Basically, there's no central repository of all the shortcuts created because, in the end, the application isn't required to register the event with the system. I've run across this post on StackOverflow that addresses this.

I can’t for the life of me figure out where else I managed to bind this shortcut, and therefore can’t figure out how to unbind it short of wiping my account. Shortcut Detective can detect when Alfred catches a keybinding from Safari, but sees nothing when the still-caught ^c is handled by whatever else is grabbing it. There don’t seem to be any plausibly-related Safari Extensions installed. I don’t see any bindings in any of the areas of the Keyboard > Shortcuts preference pane. I do not have /Library/KeyBindings/ or ~/Library/KeyBindings/ folders on this Mac. I do not see any bindings for this key in the System Preferences. I do not have FastScripts or Keyboard Maestro on this Mac. With the Alfred workflow disabled, its keybinding changed, or Alfred itself quit and not running, I have verified that the Alfred version does not run, but something else is triggering the page to open in Chrome. However, changing the keybinding of this workflow today I discovered that it also seems to be captured by something else I set up at some point (and bound to basically the same action). I did this a few years ago with an Alfred Workflow, with a Hotkey trigger scoped to and a simple AppleScript to get and reopen the front tab's URL.
