Home/End KeyFixer for Firefox 3

Mac, OS X, How-To — Ebrahim @ 5:48 pm

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

  8. 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.
