We already use .suffix, see https://searchfox.org/mozilla-
central/rev/c3fef66a5b211ea8038c1c132706d02db408093a/browser/base/content/urlbarBindings.xml#1048-1055
. I think using prefix can be a follow-up bug, that doesn't seem super
valuable to me (in fact, I would prefer to get rid of the alternate
stuff as it's currently needlessly being mixed in with other bits of URL
fixup in nsDefaultURIFixup, but that's a separate discussion).

I'll remove shift support here because it affects the pref name, and
adding a pref and then renaming it immediately seems stupid.

Title:
  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
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!
