--- Comment #29 from Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> ---
(Sorry for late comment, I am quite busy recently.)

Thanks, this seems pretty clear now; I'll take the liberty of updating the bug
summary.

Firefox not being able to do that, for some vague and IMO misguided design
reasons, is a good point; but I'm personally really unsure if we should be
implementing this for them. CC'ing Krinkle (Timo) and Anomie (Brad); can you
share your opinion on this? :)

Now, if this is implemented, I don't think that it should be a preference; we
have way too many of them already, and the few users who really need it can use
a one-line JavaScript snippet. It's not even clear what would the pref do: if
it would just allow for Shift-submission in the browsers that don't support it
natively, then I see no reason not to enable it for everyone if it's
implemented anyway; if it would force opening the results in new tab on every
submit, this could quickly get annoying.

For now, I'll work on cleaning up the form submissions for the browsers that
support it (per the bug 44393 I created earlier).

Waiting for Krinkle's and Anomie's input.
