Text cursor is present on all webpages as if my ffox was a readonly text editor.
It is good for selecting text without mouse usage, bot sometimes disturbs me.
e.g.: cursor keys do not scroll the page immediately as I press any of them,
but only when cursor would go off the screen, and then the viewport follows the cursor.
Browsers always scrolled the content immediately as I pressed a cursor key.
I would appreciate if I could switch between the old and the new scrolling style.
A good choice would be for it to depend on the state of Scroll lock switch.
-> See how MS Excel scrolls content by cursor keys when Scroll lock is turned on and off.
Thanks!

You have enabled 'caret browsing'.  Press F7 to return to normal cursor action.
