I was using the control key with single word urls, like "nfl," as a shortcut to go to nfl.com. That had been working until the most recent update, albeit with a right-click menu appearing after Firefox opened the desired page. Now, when I hold the control key with the location bar active, Firefox brings up the right-click menu without going to the desired page. For example, if I enter nfl.com and hit ctrl-enter, the browser stays on the current page and brings up the right-click menu even though I'm not clicking the mouse. Is this a bug or new behavior. (Note: I have Firefox set to autocomplete only bookmarks.)
