I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) this was requested feature that the Mozilla developers implemented to work like an IE feature. I beleive Internet Explorer had it a very long time ago. So not quite an "easter egg", but nice feature all the same.
Yes, IE has had this behavior. It is a feature that attracted me to Firefox versus the old Mozilla browser when Firefox came out. I use Ctrl+Enter all the time. The shortcuts seem to be: Ctrl+Enter => www com Shift+Enter => www net Ctrl+Shift+Enter => www org I did not know that last one, thanks to Patrick who posted it elsewhere in this thread. Alt+Enter does not seem to do anything. Other useful ones I use: Ctrl+L => Go to the address bar (select the text if any) Ctrl+T => Open a new tab Ctrl+N => Open a new window Ctrl+Shift+T => Open the last closed tab (in Firefox 2.0) Very handy.
