That's my point!
It's extremely usefull for fast navigation, at least for me or my colls at work.
Of course you can type in .net or .org, use favorites, or something else.
But I don't the point in linking opening URLs in a new window with that - even 
if its old - feature.
It might be a relic and not know to many users, but I would like at least have 
the chance to decide if I want the new or the old feature.

Now I'm pretty upset about the latest Firefox, there were already a lot
things I missed during the latest versions, but that one is a real
issue.

Title:
  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

Status in Mozilla Firefox:

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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!
