Ctrl-U which is very commonly used as "clear-line" in many applications has been
allocated to "View Page Source".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Ctrl-U with cursor in any input box on a webpage or in Firefox
URL/search boxes.
Actual Results:  
Ctrl-U does "View Page Source".

Expected Results:  
"clear-line" command, clearing any text in that line.

This is a Firefox 1.0 change.
It's something that only advanced users would know about/use, but is desirable
in order to keep standard UI functionality.
