For instance in w32 I don't think you can get C-a to move cursor to beginning of line because wind makes it be seen as Select-all. From what I have read, Firemacs behavior is much more predictable under Gnu/Linux. I haven't had any trouble with C-s, C-r, C-M-u, C-v, M-v, M-w, C-y but had same problems you did across View and Edit contexts. I am using FF 3.6 and Firemacs 3.8 Ed
