    Hello all,

    I have noticed this behaviour in Firefox recently. When the cursor is in
    the location bar and I press "Ctrl+U" to delete the text, Firefox opens
    the "View Source" window. This is annoying as it changes a basic linux
    shortcut's functionality.

    It was working fine till 0.9.3 and the change has only happened in 0.10+
    versions. Mozilla suite still kills the text in location bar with Ctrl+U
    but Firefox has changed. Is it possible to revert back the behaviour?

    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041029
    Firefox/1.0RC1 (Debian package 0.99+1.0RC1-1)
    Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041007
    Debian/1.7.3-5

    Thanks,
    /KS
