Firefox Keyboard shortcuts

This is a list of keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox. If you have enabled Emacs-
style text editing shortcuts in GNOME, they will also work in Firefox. When an
Emacs text editing shortcut conflicts with the default shortcuts (as occurs with
Ctrl+K), the Emacs shortcut will take preference if focus is inside a textbox
(which would include the location bar and search bar). In such cases you should
use the alternate keyboard shortcut if one is listed below.
