gpy98671 until the team changes it's opinion on this, which doesn't look
likely, there would need to be an extension to get your desired
functionality back. However AFAIK webextensions do not have this
capability right now. You can join the conversation
Jesse, you can follow the progress of the issue/bug for better keyboard
shortcut control here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061
When it's done there can be extensions that change this behavior. It is a bit
unfortunate the change to webextensions was rushed and now we are
Hi! Yes it is possible! Well no to be exact, not possible with
ctrl+enter but with ctrl+shift+enter instead. You can try the newest
nightly/alpha/Aurora version of Firefox and test it out yourself. So you
could use it right now :-)
So if Webextensions can modify about:config settings you could

Hey all, I think opening a new tab in background in a fast way/without
leaving the current page is very useful. I had an extension for that but
it's no longer possible because webext API does not offer that

Ah thanks, I missed the mention of that pref! Well I'd rather have it

Still, should the combinations not
Hello, can we have alt+return open the page in the background? It's
useful when you want to do something later. If you want to focus the
page immediately, like Firefox does right now for alt+return, you can
just use ctrl+t so I don't understand why alt+return opens in foreground
too since there is
Hi Aaron,
muscle memory is a reasonable point to me. However you could say the same about
the people who muscle memorized the current function maybe.
Your three listed points all look legit to me. For all of them, opening in new
*background* tab instead of new tab in focus is actually a better
Hi Christopher, I kinda agree. However the change may be confusing for users
who use the ctrl+enter to add .com. What is your suggestion for that shortcut?
Swap it with alt+enter? Also, the current "open in new tab" doesn't really make
sense to me. If one wants to immediately switch to that

tab. If you want to open it and also focus you can use ctrl+t.
