When I press "page down" to scroll down mostly doesn't work, or works like pressing the key "End". "Home" and "End" keys never work.

Reproducible: Always




This is a fresh install
Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

Does the issue occur with the latest nightly? http://nightly.mozilla.org/

The issue still occurs if I start Firefox in Safe mode.

The same with a new, empty profile.

Finally, the issue occurs with the latest nightly too.
The issue still occurs in Firefox 4.0 RC!
it's now ok!
oh... no it isn't... sometimes the keys work fine, sometimes not...

How about Firefox 4.0.1? Is the problem still there?
yes is still there...

check the url I have posted.. With Chromium everything works fine, so there isn't any problem with the website.

I've played around a bit with http://www.newsbeast.gr/greece/arthro/141783/edine-to-password-enadi-amoivis/ and experienced the problem with the home / end key. When I disabled JavaScript the problem disappeared.

More observations. If I left click outside the text the, and the right click all text gets selected. That doesn't happen with JavaScript disabled. 

The middle mouse button is disabled with JavaScript enabled.
