What I want is what Ctrl-W did prior to Firefox: if the focus is in the
'Go To field', act like you're the shell, and Ctrl-W erases from the
cursor to the beginning of the word (which mean, erase the entire URL if
the cursor is at the end). If the focus isn't there, close the current
tab, and if it's the last tab, close the window.

No longer being context sensitive is one of the reasons (and each reason
is enough by itself) I prefer Mozilla over Firefox.

On the boxes I do use Firefox, I have it disappear under me so many times
after using Ctrl-W just trying to erase the current URL.
