Within some online text editors, such as TinyMCE , Firefox (on a MacBook) will handle Command-Left Arrow as ‘go back one page’ rather than ‘go to the start of the current line.’ Likewise, Command-Right Arrow will take you forward a page, but if there’s not a page to go forward to, this often results in moving the cursor to the end of the current line after all.

Do you dislike the “Apple Mail To Do” entry in your IMAP mail account in Mail? Disabling this ‘feature’ has been claimed many times in many places, but I finally found a way that actually works: Quit Mail open ~/Library » Preferences » com.apple.mail.plist using Property List Editor.
