Home/End KeyFixer for Firefox 3
UPDATE: Get the keyfixed firefox 3 final here.
Here’s how to patch Firefox 3 to make the “home” and “end” keys work like they work in other OS.
1. Close Firefox (If open).
2. Browse to Applications > Firefox
3. Right Click > Show Package Contents
4. Browse to Contents > MacOS > Chrome
5. Rename/Remove toolkit.jar and replace it with this (toolkit.jar) one.
Done! :-)
Tested on Firefox 3.0b2
All Credits to StarryHope for making the original version.

Well, this fixes the home and end key behavior… but nuked the address bar, search box and some other pretty essential UI components in FF3.0b4.
