I do have history turned off, but visit previously visited sites that I do know that TLD for and do not need to search for, thus pressing [Ctrl+]Shift+Enter for .net / .org directly. I see the usefulness in being able to open new windows from the awesome bar, but the .net / .org is still widely enough used TLDs that such autocomplete is desired behavior for some. Any advice on reverting the behavior, or making a toggle between 'TLD autocomplete' and 'open address in new window' possible? -- 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.
