Well, that depends on what you think is `basic linux shortcut 
functionality'. But yes, I'm used to using the emacs-like shortcuts, and 
it annoyed me too.

To fix (in firefox and all/many? other gnome apps), eighter run
gnome-keybinding-properties from the shell and set
`text editing shortcuts' to "Emacs", or do the same in
Applications->DesctopPreferences->KeyboardShortcuts from the Gnome menu.
