User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru-RU; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040812 Firefox/0.9.1+

From http://texturizer.net/firefox/mouse.html
A Middle-click on a tab closes it on Windows by default. However, in Linux it
pastes whatever is currently in the Clipboard and visits that site (or performs
a search). This can be changed by setting the middlemouse.contentLoadURL pref to
either true (for the Content Load URL feature) or false (for closing the tab).

So I think that "Paste URL and Go" shortcut should be shown only when Firefox
for Linux is installed, to avoid confusion. Or there should be some kind of note
to reflect the fact that "Paste URL and Go" shortcut closes the tab in Windows
version of Firefox.

Requesting review for a simple patch...this should make the Paste 'n' Go
shortcut only show on Linux.
