When I click on history entry menu item in history menu or bookmark item in bookmarks menu in global/app menu with cmd button pressed they all open realted webpage in active tab but cmd clicking should open pages in a new tab like in other places in Firefox or Safari and exactly like ctrl clicking in menus on Windows.

The event passes to BookmarksEventHandler.onCommand() has metaKey = false on Mac  when cmd+left click.  The root cause is to do with the code which capturing metaKey pressed.  Any suggestions where to look at?

423     <menupopup id="bookmarksMenuPopup"
424 #ifndef XP_MACOSX
425                placespopup="true"
426 #endif
427                context="placesContext"
428                openInTabs="children"
429                oncommand="BookmarksEventHandler.onCommand(event, this.parentNode._placesView);"
