Firefox deletes entire text input's line when using CMD + DEL
Firefox is deleting the entire text input line when using CMD + Delete.
Expected Result: 1. Select an input field where you can type out text 2. Place input cursor in the middle of a line of text 3. Press CMD + Delete on keyboard 4. All text *to the left* of the cursor's placement should be deleted
Actual Result: 1. Select an input field where you can type out text 2. Place input cursor in the middle of a line of text 3. Press CMD + Delete on keyboard 4. All text on the line of the cursor's placement is deleted
Additional Notes: This breaks other competing browser behaviors and changes the way I work with text input on the daily.
Environment: macOS 10.13.2 Firefox 57.0.1 (64-bit) Source I used for testing: pastebin.com

Sorry. Used dos long enough to know you use delete, it deletes.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Unfortunately that doesn't solve, nor answer, the situation here.
Delete is expected to delete yes, but the browser behavior that Firefox exhibits with CMD + DELETE goes against the behavior of every other major browser.
Since you've used DOS enough, I'll explain it this way: Firefox's behavior with CMD + DEL on macOS, mimics DOS' CTRL+C (CTRL+U on Unix) behavior when in actuality it should follow the CTRL + HOME (deleting everything to the left of the cursor) behavior.
