Correct Home/End functionality in Firefox on Mac OSX

How cool is this? Jim Menden­hall at Starry Hope offers some help to us Mac Switch­ers. Long one of the top Google results for “osx home end”, Jim devel­oped a small app to replace the Mac’s default key behav­ior with that of every other win­dow­ing sys­tem ever. (That’s right, nit­pick­ers. Ever.) Unfor­tu­nately, it didn’t work in Fire­fox… until now!

It’s still in beta, and the only way to grab a copy is to bug Jim, but I’m using it and it works great. He’s still work­ing on adding sup­port for Shift-Home/Shift-End text selec­tion, but it’s already made edit­ing text fields in web pages so much eas­ier. Thanks, Jim!
