User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040901 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040901 Firefox/0.9.1+

In most other OS X browsers I can jump the cursor the the begining of the box in
an one line text input box by pressing the up arrow.  This does not work in
Firefox.  This functionality can be replicated by pressing Cmd + Left Arrow, but
this is not as desirable since it is inconsistent with dominant system behavior
and it requires extra keys.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Place cursor in an one line text box form field on a webpage.
2.Type some text
3.Press the up arrow key

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
The cursor should be moved back to the begining of the text box.  

This is not a problem in larger textarea type boxes only in one line text boxes.
