More to the point, there are settings in the Gnome Control Center
for how keys are mapped in the "Document Handlers -> HTML Viewer".
Select the Keyboard Shortcuts section and then select "MS like".
That might help.  If it doesn't, I think it's a bug and you should
enter a bug report in Bugzilla.  To work around the issue, you can
always define your own keymapping (use "Custom").  I agree with you
that default keymappings are important to get right.  We should
strive to make everything as intuitive for the majority of desktop
users as we can (e.g. Windoze users).
