Details

When a user presses "ctrl-a" in an input box in gtk2, it is expected for the entire box to be selected. Instead, the cursor is moved to the first column (the function
of the "home" key).

Ctrl-a going to the first column is the behavior of the emacs keybinding set. This should only happen when the emacs set is enabled. Even when the default keybinding set is used, ctrl-a goes to first column.
This task depends upon

Ah, this is not all gtk apps. Mozilla Firefox is the one with the problem.

As this is isolated to firefox, I'd say it's an upstream issue. There's not much we can do aside from trying to patch the bug ourselves.

If you like, you can create a bug on the Mozilla site.
