Home and End Key Fixer. I found my machine to be nearly unusable without it.

Quicksilver, to avoid the terrible GUI as much as humanly possible.

DoubleCommand works great for this as well, even in Firefox 3, and includes a lot of other handy key-remapping.

DoubleCommand can cause kernel panics.

KeyRemap4MacBook will give you a lot more options.
