Hi..
It's possible to press CTRL+Mousebutton1 instead of Mousebutton3 to open a new
Window/Tab .. a VERY nice feature for Notebook users..
..and when you highlight an URL (eg. http://www.mozilla.org (url without <a
href..) ) and hit Mousebutton3 Mozilla will load the URL.. i think it would be
nice when you could also press CTRL+Mousebutton1
...at the moment, CTRL+Mousebutton1 does something weired like 'selecting table
cells'..
bye

I dislike the idea of middle-click-pasting and occasionally use Ctrl+click to
select table cells, so I vote against this bug. I also object to this bug for
the same reason I object to bug 10080: it would encourage content authors to
include URLs in their documents without turning them into hyperlinks.
Summary: Highlighting an url and pressing CTRL+Mousebutton1 should open the URL → Highlighting an url and ctrl+left clicking should open the URL

Yes, but remember: sometimes you're reading plaintext files in mozilla and then
such a function is very usefull...
It was just an idea .. and on a laptop it's a pain to press mouse1 and 2
together.. but CTRL + Mouse1 is no problem.. (or Alt+Mouse1)

The right way to make URLs in plain text documents usable is bug 39042, "Display
text/plain and *.txt using stream converters". This method would be very hard
to discover.
No longer depends on: 10080

I completely agree.
For HTML, bug 10080 is the right one.
(But I think, Jesse, you misunderstood that bug. That bug doesn't turn
non-linkified URLs in HTML documents automatically into links. I agree that this
would be a bad idea, for several reasons.)
IMO, this bug should be WONTFIX.

What's happening here is actually a copy, paste and a load triggered by paste
into the content area. I think, that works only on Unix and IMO it's a bad idea.
