I want to be able to use the unix-shell ^E, ^A, ^F, ^B, etc line
editing shortcuts when using firefox.  I would like to have this
functionality in windows, but I would be satisfied with an answer that
described how I can get this behavior in the linux version.

Annoyingly, this used to be the default... Mozilla's default behavior
in linux enables the aforementioned emacs-y bindings, and older
versions of firefox made it a configuration option.  How can I make
firefox 1.0 do what I want without hacking the source?  Better yet, is
there a solution that works in windows as well?

Thanks so much!
