Google - Firefox - Keyboard

The google search web page in my Firefox browser has recently hijacked one of my keyboard shortcuts, which is really annoying because I use it all the time. The shortcut is CMD-left arrow on OS X which in practically every app and other web page moves the cursor to the beginning of the line in a text box -- but google in their infinite wisdom have decided it should be used to go the previous web page, like the back button.

[EDIT: So for example if I type something in the Google search box and use the shortcut the previous page loads.]

Does anyone know how I can disable this behaviour and get my shortcut back?

Doesnt happen for me so IDK maybe a setting on your machine rather than Google?
