the keyword substitution in Firefox address bar does not work in combination
with Ctrl+Return (=opening the url in a new tab).

Having defined a bookmark like this:
   keyword=leo
   url=http://dict.leo.org/?search=%s

Enter in address bar
   leo evening <Ctrl>+<Return>

Expected result:
   Firefox opens new tab with address "http://dict.leo.org/?search=evening"

Actual result:
   - Firefox does not open a new tab
   - incorrect url completion to "http://www.leo evening.com"
   - Messagebox "Url is not valid and cannot be loaded."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
<ctrl>+<return> is not the correct key combination for opening a new tab from
the url bar.  You need to use <alt>+<return> for this to work.  Using keywords
with <alt>+<return> works for me.

You are right -- I still was used to the Mozilla way of life.

To conclude:

- <Alt>+<Enter>: Open in new tab
- <Ctrl>+<Enter>: Extend input with "www." and ".com"
- <Enter> (great idea for non-US users): If domain name doesnot exist: take
first search result from google
