For example, I'd love to be able to press ctrl-a to get to the beginning of a line in an input field and ctrl-k to delete that line, etc.
P.S. Not sure if it matters, but I use Arch Linux.

Is there a Firefox add-on that enables emacs keyboard shortcuts?

Yes, this should be what you want: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firemacs/ and of course you can customize the bindings if need be.

Alas, at the present moment you could comfortably write a text with it only in English. Because when you switch keyboard layout to something else, all the «Meta…» combinations stops working (e.g. «M+f»). – Hi-Angel – 2014-10-03T03:05:57.720

KeySnail also looks extremely interesting.
(In fact, after a cursory look at both that and Firemacs, I would say that KeySnail looks like the more comprehensive of the two by far.)
Other useful links:
- It's All Text extension for Firefox.
- Mozilla page at the EmacsWiki.
- Edit with Emacs extension for Chrome.
- EmacsClient page at the EmacsWiki, for other client tricks.
- Conkeror: A Mozilla-based web browser with Emacs-like functionality.
- Use Emacs keybindings everywhere.

It have actually the same problem as the «Firemacs»: the «Meta…» combinations stops working after switching layout, and of course it have no «C-\» combination to switch the layout in a friendly for the addon way. – Hi-Angel – 2014-10-03T03:13:16.147

Not a plugin, but you may get some mileage out of conkeror.

Firefox normally uses the GTK settings for key bindings. You can just turn on Emacs bindings there GTK-wide. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Emacs_Keybindings_%28Firefox%29#GNU.2FLinux
