User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 Whenever you create a wave, hitting Command+LeftArrow (which normally sends you to the start of the line in both Firefox text boxes and regular Mac windows) appears to send the browser "Back" one page instead, such as would happen when not in a text box. Similar effects are observed for Command+RightArrow. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a wave, or edit an existing wave 2.Hit Command+LeftArrow Actual Results: The browser moves back one History item Expected Results: The cursor should move to the start of the line. This appears similar to what occurs in Gmail rich text mode, but is not present on Safari for Mac, or indeed on other similar email portals.

I'm still seeing this issue in Gmail. Firefox 22.0
As Adam Howard said in response to Dan on Twitter [1], ctrl+e works to go to end of line, but it is still a drag not to be able to use command+left/right arrows. Ctrl+a works to go to the beginning of line, provided the find toolbar is not visible, if it is, then highlight all takes precedence and hijacks ctrl+a. Yet another reason command+left/right arrow working as expected in Gmail should be prioritized. [1] https://twitter.com/skattyadz/status/352110053953781760
