In all previous versions of Firefox, ctrl-e always took me to the search field. Very disappointed that this is not the case in FF 4. I know ctrl-k will, but that is not convenient as I often use the series of ctrl keys ctrl-n, ctrl-e in a series when I want to search for something in a new tab.

You can set ctrl-e as the shortcut by using the Change Search Shortcut add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/change-search-shortcut/
