The shortcuts only work if they are not used by the desktop environment or window manager. If you have enabled Emacs-style text editing shortcuts in GNOME, they will also work in Firefox.

When an Emacs text editing shortcut conflicts with the default shortcuts (as occurs with Ctrl+K), the Emacs shortcut will take precedence if focus is inside a text box (which would include the address bar and search bar). In such cases you should use the alternate keyboard shortcut if one is listed below. These shortcuts require the tab bar to be “in focus”. You can also use keyboard shortcuts with developer tools in Firefox. Cookies and privacy. Let’s talk about cookies. Those warm, gooey little treats are so delicious . . . wait, not those kinds of cookies. Let’s talk about Internet cookies. Websites save information about you in cookies (files) on your computer. The next time you visit that site, the code will read that file to “remember” you.

We rely on cookies all the time. There are also cookies that remember more detailed information about you. Some cookies track you until you close your browser. You could delete all of your cookies, but that may mean a more difficult Web-surfing experience. So now that you understand a bit more about cookies and what they do, let’s talk about your options. There’s a growing awareness of a feature called Do Not Track, which is built into Firefox. You could turn on Private Browsing, which allows you to browse the Internet without saving any information about which sites and pages you’ve visited.

There’s also a setting in Firefox that allows you to Clear Recent History.
