Here's my situation:  I use a Mac, but I use a Windows keyboard.  I
changed my modifier keys in MacOS system preferences so that Control is
now Cmd and Cmd is now Control.  This means that I can use ctrl + key on
my keyboard for shortcuts, just like I would use in Windows (ctrl + c to
copy, ctrl + v to paste).  If I didn't make that change in system
preferences, I'd have to use the Windows key for those same shortcuts
(win + c to copy, win + v to paste), which is not how the shortcuts work
in Windows.  Before Firefox 64, ctrl + enter on my Windows keyboard
would autocomplete the URL with www. and .com, because I changed my
modifier keys in system preferences.  This behavior is consistent with
how it would work using the same keyboard in Windows.  Because of this
change to Firefox 64, I now have to use win + enter in Firefox, or I
have to change my system preferences modifier keys back to defaults,
which means Firefox would again use ctrl + enter on the keyboard to
autocomplete, but for everything else in the OS, I'd have to use the Win
key.  So Firefox is now the odd program on my Mac.  I have to retrain my
fingers to use win + enter on the Mac, but continue to use ctrl + enter
on Windows.

So while this is really more of a nuisance than a true show-stopper, it
would be nice if you offered a config that would revert the changes on
Macs if the user isn't using a Mac keyboard.
