Ah, I didn't remember shift, why are we doing that exactly? it sounds wrong. 
Nor Edge nor Chrome do that, so it's not a parity reason. And I can see why 
they don't, it's trivial to leave your finger on shift when typing text and 
then we'd try to canonize it. Additionally we also use shift for tab VS 
tabshifted, so this is just adding confusion.
May we file a bug to stop supporting shift and relegate canonize to just CTRL? 
provided we don't want to do that here.

Title:
  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

Status in Mozilla Firefox:

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:

Status in firefox-3.0 package in Ubuntu:

Status in firefox-3.5 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  There are currently too many shortcuts when opening a link in a new
  tab:

   - location bar: <ALT> + <ENTER>
   - GO button: <CTRL> + click
   - search bar: <CTRL> + <ENTER>
   - SEARCH button <ALT> + click
   - links: <SHIFT> + click
   - menu bar: <CTRL> + click
   - BACKWARD/FORWARD button: <CTRL> + click

  This is one of the reasons I'm keeping with Opera. There it is always
  the shift key and I have to remember only one key.

  Thanks for reading!
