`home' in Firefox goes to beginning of the line instead of the
beginning of the page when the cursor is enabled with `F7' that
allows text to be selected with the keyboard. This mode corresponds
to Emacs more closely.
To go to the beginning of the buffer is still possible in Emacs
with the key `begin' (`kp-begin' on the keymap near the `home' key).
Maybe in modes where the cursor is hidden it would make sense
for `home' to go to the beginning of the buffer in modes like
`image-mode', but why duplicate the bindings of `home' and `begin'.
