It does:

"The macOS keyboard shortcut to add "www" and ".com" to a URL is now
ctrl-enter instead of [apple]-enter"

This is the only by-default change here. See the end of comment 124.

No, the relnote just got repeatedly rewritten to simplify it and make it
understandable/relevant for people who hadn't followed this bug.

> What is the opt-out mechanism?

On Windows/Linux you can change this by setting
`browser.urlbar.ctrlCanonizesURLs` to false.

Title:
  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in firefox-3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in firefox-3.5 package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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!
