Since I am using the Firefox Version 3.5. scrolling with the keyboard doesn't work properly. When I hit the arrow key for scrolling down it directly jumps to the end of the page. The same happens when I try to scroll up. I can still use the mouse or the scroll bars at the side.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Scrolling down or up line by line

I think you accidentally turned on caret browsing. Tools > Options > Advanced > General ? Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages.
You can simply switch it off by pressing f7.

Firefox has no key to copy link since 88. It was removed and not replaced. This is completely unreasonable.

A replacement key that is unusable by human hands is not a replacement. It's not unlike telling people they can vote, if they stand in line for 8 hours without water. That is telling people that they can't vote.

Telling people that there is a new key, but it's across the room where NO ONE, NO HUMAN HAND can reach, is telling them that there is no key.

Firefox has NO KEY to copy link currently.

There was no reason to break this, and I want you to know that I am never going to stop reporting it, and I will be identifying the people who broke it, like Asif Youssuff, personally, until it is identified as the bug that it is.

You broke a browser that millions of people depended on for NO REASON. NO REASON. There was NO REASON TO REMOVE THE HOTKEY TO COPY LINKS FROM FIREFOX.
