266748 - ctrl-u no longer clears a line of text, but instead shows page source even from within html forms and address bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 260188

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[matt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/0.10.1 (Debian package  0.10.1+1.0PR-4)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/0.10.1 (Debian package  0.10.1+1.0PR-4)

For me, the most useful feature of Firefox for Linux vs. Firefox for Windows was
the ctrl-u, ctrl-a, ctrl-e navigations within the address bar and html forms. 
Please, don't turn Firefox's Linux keyboard functionality into Firefox's Windows
keyboard functionality.

If the default keyboard functionality stands, is it possible to create an option
along the lines of 'use Unix-style keyboard bindings'.

If you are ambitious, maybe even a 'use vim-style keybindings for html forms'
option.  ;-)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. press ctrl-u from the title bar
2. press ctrl-u from an html form
3. press ctrl-u after "focusing" the page (I click on any non-form part of the
rendered page)

Actual Results:  
1. showed the source
2. showed the source
3. showed the source

Expected Results:  
1. clear the title bar
2. clear the line
3. show the source
