The documentation says that Insert opens a link in new foreground tab,
Shift+Insert in a new background tab. However, Navigator behaves exactly the
opposite way around.
Here is the diff I propose:

Actually, it's more complicated that that :)
In my brief testing it appears that "Insert" opens the highlighted link accoding
to the pref set in Navigator -> Tabbed Browsing (browser.tabs.loadInBackground)
and "Shift + Insert" does the opposit.

-> arron
actually, the page is an updated version of keyboard shortcut in Mozilla
Help, so partly belongs to documentation:user
arron, can you also update the shortcut table (accel+0) in Help and move
the online page from docs/end-user/ to catalog/end-user/?
btw, T is for "Mark this thread as read and go to next unread thread", not
"Go to Next Unread Thread"
and add a note that keyboard shortcut w/o modifier is case sensitive (e.g.
'T' should be 't')
also, Ctrl+# depends on what components you have (e.g. if you don't have
ChatZilla, Ctrl+3 opens Composer)
And the page should be expanded to explain mouse shortcuts (e.g.
ctrl+click on "compose/reply/reply all" button to swtich from default
html/text mode.)

The bug can be found in the End-User documentation that is delivered with the
Mozilla binary _and_ at the URL noted above. Sorry if that was not clear in the
original bug submission.

Giacomo, does this still occurs? Since I'm on a mac I'm unable to test ;)

Comment #2 holds true. An update to the documentation is needed.
Good first bug? :)

I have 3 suggestions so far to solve this issue:
http://www.aquachan.de/moz/shortcuts-navigator.xhtml#tabbed_browsing_shortcuts
http://www.aquachan.de/moz/shortcuts-navigator_v2.xhtml#tabbed_browsing_shortcuts
http://www.aquachan.de/moz/shortcuts-navigator_v3.xhtml#tabbed_browsing_shortcuts
Any opinions on what's probably the best for a normal user or what could be improved?

Patch v1
</table>
+<p>
+ *...
You need an empty line between the table and the paragraph. Also, the indentation in the paragraph is wrong, should be like this:
<p>text .. ...
more text....</p>
+ Switch to new tabs opened from links</a> setting is disabled. Other keys may also apply depending
+ on the <a href="cs_nav_prefs_navigator.xhtml#tabbed_browsing"> Open tabs instead of windows</a> settings.
Looking at the last sentence, I think it will look/sound better if you wrote "Depending on the Open tabs instead of windows settings, more keys might be available."
