Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130329043827

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Orca Screen Reader in Linux
2. Go to any page e.g. http://www.google.com
3. Explore the page using the Up and Down arrow keys

I've tried this on many versions of firefox, including 19, 20 and 24to 29. The problem appears on version 25, actually it is present on version 25.0b1 and is not on version 24.0b1 to 24.0b10 nor 24.6.0esr


Actual results:

When the Up and Down arrow keys are used, the cursor seems to moves by paragraphs, instead of moving by lines; which makes impossible to browse internet using Orca and Firefox


Expected results:

Arrow keys should allow explore the page as the cursor was moving on a text editor, similar to Firefox's Caret Browsing (pressing F7)
