In Preferences/Navigator/Tabbed Browsing, there's a checkbox for "Middle-click
or control-click of links in a Web page"; on the Mac, the modifier used for that
is the command key, not the control key.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Preferences, under Navigator click Tabbed Browsing
2. Read text
3.

Actual Results:  
Checkbox says "control-click"

Expected Results:  
Should say "command-click" on the Mac

On the Mac, the control key is used for contextual menus (control-click does the
same as right-click, since Macs ship with one-button mice).  With this box
checked, command-click opens links in a new tab.  Not too hard to figure out,
but this is certainly confusing, especially since the next checkbox mentions
Command+Enter.
