User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0PR The emacs binding no longer work and there does not appear to be a way to make them work without editing platformHTMLBindings.xml. Up to and including 0.9.3 the key bindings worked properly on Linux. It looks like a decision was made in 1.0PR to compell everyone to adopt the Microsoft Windows key bindings regardless of the platform they are using. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Hit ^A in the address/URL field 2. 3. Actual Results: ^A - the while line is highlighted Expected Results: Moved the ciursor to the beginning of the line Why the desire to force the Windows keyboard interface onto everyone? Why the desire to make it difficult to fix this via user prefs? This behavior makes firefox 1.0PR a non-starter for many of us. We are staying with 0.9.3 for now.

we're now using the GNOME keybinding settings. If you set it to use the emacs keybindings, we'll use them too. add gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" to ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and you should be good to go. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 260572 ***

Thank you for the information. However I do not use gnome and have no desire to do so. How do I get the behavior I had in 0.9.3 back?

The instructions in comment 1 should work even if you don't use Gnome. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 260572 ***
