No, "Select All" is Alt+A, not Ctrl+A,

Brion mentioned that you're talking about "Select All" in a textfield,
not the website. In such a case, I always use Ctrl+Home,
Ctrl+Shift+End... :-p
In my install, Alt+A does select all on a website too. If you pull down
the "Edit" menu, "Alt+A" is what's written next to "Select
All". It
does appear that Ctrl+A also works on websites, but this doesn't seem to
be documented anywhere in the Firefox UI, and certainly isn't what users
would be expected to use, given that it's not what's written as the
keyboard shortcut next to "Select All" in the menu.
