It now jumps to the search bar, whether in the location input box or in a text box. Could there at least be an option to restore the old behavior? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hit Control-k 2. 3. Actual Results: Cursor moves to search box Expected Results: Text box or location toolbar clears to end of line Built using gentoo ebuild mozilla-firefox-1.0_pre-r2.
FYI, the bugzilla bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264232> now has a pointer to <http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Emacs_Keybindings_(Firefox)>, which explains how to fix the problem. (If you get a page that says "there is no text", make sure bugzilla didn't cut off the trailing ")" in the URL.) I don't know if that means this bug should be closed or not.
This is an upstream decision, not a bug
