Hi! Yes it is possible! Well no to be exact, not possible with
ctrl+enter but with ctrl+shift+enter instead. You can try the newest
nightly/alpha/Aurora version of Firefox and test it out yourself. So you
could use it right now :-)

So if Webextensions can modify about:config settings you could revive your 
extension but with ctrl+shift+enter instead. I don't think it's possible for 
Webextensions to edit that keyboard command (some others like ctrl+f are 
possible to rewrite though). If you want to track progress on that issue, it is 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061
However enter is not even a keyboard shortcut I suppose so it is probably not 
affected by that issue, right?

Oh and it's not possible with the search bar right now! They don't seem
to share the code. Is that considered as a bug? :Gijs?

Title:
  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

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!
