User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When viewing a page that is longer than one page (i.e. Facebook), my arrow keys don't operate like a scroll anymore.  Instead, they go down one line of text at a time, if at all.  Page up, page down, home and end do nothing anymore.  This all started after I updated to the newest version this week.  It is quite annoying and I will just use IE until it is fixed.  I am using a laptop (Dell Studio) without a mouse.

Reproducible: Always

Maybe you are in caret browsing mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Unable+to+scroll+with+arrow+keys?bl=n&s=caret%20browsing&as=q

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and comment on the bug.
