Wow, I realized a few days ago that Shift+Enter and Ctrl+Shift+Enter didn't work anymore, I thought it was a bug in my Linux distribution... I'm surprised to see that this was a deliberate decision. I've been using these keyboard shortcuts for years (probably more than a decade) and I've always missed them when using another browser (they're one of the reasons I've kept using Firefox all these years, when a lot of people I know moved to Chrome for example)
I do a lot of browsing in a private browsing window, so some websites I sometimes use are not (and never have been) in my navigation history or in my bookmarks. Neither do I want some of these websites in my history or bookmarks. It's almost become muscle memory after all these years to type the domain and Ctrl+Enter, Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Shift+Enter :) I guess someone will make an extension to bring back that feature :) Or maybe I'll take the time to figure out how to do it myself, or I'll patch and compile my own Firefox to bring it back... but given that I'm too lazy to simply type .net or .org it doesn't look like any of this will happen haha -- 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 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.
