Your patch does:

and
> this.AppConstants.platform == "macosx") {
It also hardcodes 'accel' to always mean 'ctrl'.
Instead, leave the accel handling as-is, don't check for the OS, but add
a preference line in all.js, e.g. for
"browser.urlbar.accelenter.newtab". Use #ifdefs for that pref and, on
Windows, set it to false, and on everything else, to true.
Then instead of checking the OS in your patch, check the preference, and
use that to decide what to do.

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!
