User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8
Build Identifier: Firefox/3.5.8

Even though I am on a Mac, most of my work is done in a Windows VM. I changed the cut, copy, and paste keyboard shortcuts from the cmd key to the ctrl. It works for Safari and many other mac applications, but not with Firefox. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.On my mac, I go into System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Keyboard Shortcuts > All Applications.
2. Add keyboard shortcuts for Paste (^v), Cut (^X), and Copy (^c).
3. In Fireforx, try to copy or paste within the application or to/from the application.
Actual Results:  
No success in copying or pasting using the ctrl+ key. The cmd+ key still controls the keyboard shortcut.

Expected Results:  
Using ctrl+c should copy the selected text into memory to be pasted elsewhere.
customising keyboard shortcuts through the System Preferences pane is busted.
