Could you file a separate issue, and we can work out if it's fixable
there? IIRC there are some other subtleties with how search behaves
(e.g. defaults for whether tabs open in the foreground or not when you
use the page context menu to search are governed by a different pref to
the one governing "normal" links opened in tabs). So I'm not sure off-
hand how easy it would be to fix. Either way we usually try to fix 1
thing per bug to avoid confusion about what is/isn't fixed. So fixing
the search bar, given that it's not using the same code as per your
comment, will need to have its own bug.

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!
