We can't add configuration knobs to Firefox for everything that some subset of users want changed - we'd end up with hundreds or thousands of prefs, which makes maintaining Firefox harder, and it results in horribly confusing prefs UI if the prefs are exposed there (or dramatically reduces the pref's utility to users if they aren't).
A change like this one could easily be accomplished using a Firefox add- on, though, so you always have a recourse when you don't like Firefox design decisions! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66566 Title: Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Won't Fix Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “firefox-3.5” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix 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!
