Nice find, and interesting site.

Compare to Mozilla's own documentation:

To put =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=9C?= Go =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=9D?= buttons on the left side of the URL-bar / search bar ..

To put “ Go ” buttons on the left side of the URL-bar
( a.k.a. Smart Location Bar ) and the search bar,
add this to you userChrome.CSS:
“ textbox > * { -moz-box-direction: reverse; } ”.

But why would anyone want to use the space for a go button when hitting
the enter key accomplishes the same?

Some people prefer a mouse control to a keyboard one, or vice versa

Many of the menu options have keyboard equivelents as well

Yes, I'm aware of that. Made this comment simply to ensure the OP was
aware of the possibility.

I keep my room very dark.

I don't use the keyboard when the mouse will do.
I even type using the mouse ( via my virtual keyboard ).

Right now I'm using the keyboard,
holding it with my knees as I lay in bed, mouse at my side.

I keep my room very dark.
My keyboard has a tiny lamp with an on/off switch.
It shines on the keyboard, not my face.

Even my screens are dark, e.g.: “ JeffRelf.F-M.FM/SearchPlugins.PNG ”.
For text, I use high contrast, low brightness;
for images, it's the opposite: high brightness, low contrast.

The height of creativity for laziness! When I was in high school a
friend didn't have a bedside lamp and didn't need one. He merely ran a
piece of string wrapped around the on/off light switch at his bedroom
door via a few screw eyes to his bedside and he could turn the light on
and off.
