I'm not an emacs user either but it's the normal unix "delete the whole line" command, and it meant the same my previous machines right back to the BBC Micro in the early 1980s. So with over 20 years of ingrained muscle memory it still annoys me no-end that Firefox uniquely amongst the applications on my systems does something different with this key-shortcut.
