How do I MODIFY the keyboard shortcuts so the combinations are what I desire?

I the default behavior when I click on a URL to be to open it in a new tab.

I also want COMMAND-t to do this

the default command-ENTER requires two hands. Pretty poor human factors design...

And why does the PREFERENCES say "open new window in a new tab instead" This is a nonsensical behavior. If there is a command that says "open a new window' why would anyone want it to behave differently ???

The Keyconfig extension allows you to configure keyboard shortcuts..

See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension]

The tab preference "Open new windows in a new tab instead" means that when a website has coded a link to open in a new window, Firefox should divert it to a new tab in your current window.

If YOU choose to open a link in a new window, either using the right-click context menu or by holding down the Shift key when clicking the link, then the preference does not apply to your action.
