1: This shortcut only works in the Location Bar. 2: Opening a link in a new background or foreground tab can be inversed in the Options/Preferences menu, Tabs tab, ticking the option when I open a new tab, switch to it immediately. 3: For Backspace to work like on Windows set browser.backspace_action to 0 in about:config. 4: For Middleclick not to paste URL in tab set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false in about:config.
