=>In previous versions of Mozilla, you could clear the URL
=>by moving the cursor to the URL in the Navigation line,
=>and they typing <ctl>U .  Anywhere else the <ctl>U brought
=>up the source for the window it was in.
=>
=>With Firefox, this no longer works.
=>Is there a way to configure FireFox so it works again
=>(hint, it would be a REAL NICE feature to have back in the code)
=>
=>Its a real pain in the ass, with LONNNNG URLs to have to backup
=>move the cursor to the end, backup again, and again, and again.
=>A simple ^U could do it all at once...

I went through this when I upgraded from Shrike to Core 3. What I really 
wanted was the old emacs behaviour.

Here's the solution:

568 > cat .gtkrc
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"
569 > cat .gtkrc-2.0 
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"
