1473187 - Add ability to select multiple tabs using both Shift + Ctrl/Cmd at the same time

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement, P2)

Description

[Abdoulaye O. LY]

This should work like mutli-select using shift only except that it doesn't remove tabs from the selection.

For example let's consider the following scenario with five tabs: 
1. A,B,C,D,E
2. switch to tab C (Active tab)
3. hold Shift key only and select tab E
4. A,B are not selected and C-E selected
5. Hold Shift+Ctrl/Cmd and select tab A
6. A-E are selected.

Now if only Shift key was held in 5:
 a. the selected tabs would be A-C 
 b. and D,E would be removed from the selection.
