User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build ID: 20100101 Steps to reproduce: Currently there is no way to insert primary selection using only keyboard. Middle button works, but I would like to have that functionality on SHIFT+INSERT (same as in the terminal). I understand that breaking existing functionality for other people is bad, so I'm thinking introducing new preference `browser.ui.shift_insert_pastes_primary` with default value `false` would be way to implement this. I would be willing to give a shot to implementing this if the feature itself is OKed. Actual results: SHIFT+INSERT does not insert primary selection. Expected results: SHIFT+INSERT does insert primary selection if `browser.ui.shift_insert_pastes_primary = true`.
