615079 - Ctrl+Enter and Alt+Enter should do the vice-versa actions

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[Please Ignore This Troll (Account Disabled)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101127 Firefox/4.0b8pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101127 Firefox/4.0b8pre

Currently Ctrl+Enter adds ".com" (or actually the value of browser.fixup.alternate.suffix pref) to the end of the address and opens it.
And Alt+Enter opens the the text entered to loc-bar in the new tab.

I think it's wrong, and their behavior should be exchanged just like in the analogue with clicks on links: if you Left click on a link - it gets opened in the current tab; if you hold control and then click on a link (or middle click it) - it gets opened in the new tab => the same behavior should be with location bar (even clicking on the "go" button with middle click opens the entered text in a new tab, e.g. it fits the behavior with normal links).

Reproducible: Always




Another WONTFIX I guess?
