1956035 - The shortcut for "Open Address or Search in New Background Tab" changed from <command+enter> to <alt+enter> for addresses or terms typed into the address bar.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1949999

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[patricknease]

Steps to reproduce:

I click command + enter for items entered into the address bar

Actual results:

the page opens in the current tab, rather than a new tab as it did in previous firefox versions

Expected results:

It should open in a new tab with this shortcut, rather than the "alt" + "enter" command. This doesn't make sense as clicking links on webpages with <command> still opens a new tab, while the address bar is uniquely different. Is this a bug? If not, it doesn't seem to make sense, and I'd love to know a way to fix it.
