This might be a repeat of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318788

I already posted there, but then noticed that's an old but so I thought I'd post a new one as this wasn't a problem until I installed Firefox 4 RC today. Sorry if this is bad form.

I open firefox, open whatever large page, and I can scroll up and down with my pageup/down buttons for a time. After a while (and I haven't noticed any particular site causing the problem) the same buttons will shift the page forward and back through the tab history. After it begins, it happens on all pages and on any opened tabs. I was running adblock when it first happened. I restarted in safe-mode and experienced the same thing.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open firefox
2. Browse the web for 5-10minutes
3. ??? (sorry)
Actual Results:  
Pageup/down keys move forward/backward in page history

Expected Results:  
Pageup/down keys should move up and down the page
