FireFox is one of the few browsers that don't bring up the on-screen keyboard when clicking into a URL bar while a physical keyboard is connected, which makes it my ideal choice for desktop like browsing. however it does not support ctrl+A ctrl+C ctrl X or ctrl+V, which makes copying and pasting URLs very difficult.

it would also be awesome to see other keyboard shortcuts supported, such as ctrl+T for new tab, etc. thank you very much!

Cut/copy/paste will work on Firefox 22. We will be releasing this to the Play Store as Firefox Beta later this week.

We are still working on adding shortcuts for new tab, focus location bar and such.
