I've been a Firefox user for years now. I use these keyboard shortcuts
daily. net and org are still extremely common TLDs, even with others
becoming more common. This change is annoying enough for me to seriously
consider downgrading to 63. I ask the Firefox team to please consider
reverting this change until there is a way for this functionality to be
supported by an extension. I'll even write the extension myself, but
judging by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061 such an
extension isn't possible yet.

  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

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!
