Gavin is basically saying "this is how it's always been done, so this is
how it will continue to be done". In the face of mounting evidence that
this is not what everyone wants, seems like providing a flag is not too
much to ask.

Do the patches not provide an amenable compromise between "fixing" and
providing a config for this?

Please reconsider.

Title:
  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

  Won't Fix
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  There are currently too many shortcuts when opening a link in a new
  tab:

   - location bar: <ALT> + <ENTER>
   - GO button: <CTRL> + click
   - search bar: <CTRL> + <ENTER>
   - SEARCH button <ALT> + click
   - links: <SHIFT> + click
   - menu bar: <CTRL> + click
   - BACKWARD/FORWARD button: <CTRL> + click

  This is one of the reasons I'm keeping with Opera. There it is always
  the shift key and I have to remember only one key.

  Thanks for reading!
