[Bug 66566]

[aaronbauman]

Yes, it's true that any change has the potential to interrupt current users.
But, if FF could detect when to append ".com" vs. when to open a new tab based on the entered URL, then this is a very minimal change for current users.

The current behavior of ".com-completion in same tab, when applicable" could remain in place.
The only behavior that's actually needs to change is from the existing "cmd-enter does nothing" to "cmd-enter opens in new tab" when .com-completion is not applicable.

Furthermore, with the proliferation of TLDs, it seems like .com-completion has become less useful.
Adding a config to change this behavior doesn't seem like an unreasonable approach either.
