User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:5.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0.1 Build ID: 20110707182747 Steps to reproduce: Load a page that automatically place the cursor in a textbox, for example www.facebook.com Actual results: I can't scroll the page with home, end, pgdn, pgup keys. Expected results: As in Safari, I should be able to scroll the page up and down even though the cursor is in a text box. I don't know if it's a bug or feature request. I get the impression that an increasing number of pages automatically place the cursor in a text box when the page load. I surf with my keyboard. I don't have my eyes on the cursor. When the page has finished loading, I try to scroll down the page and find that the keys don't answer. Then I see that the cursor is in a text box. It is equally annoying every time it happens. I suggest two solutions: Either like in Safari or an option to uncheck "Allow javascript to grab the cursor" or something.
Reproducible for me on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110801 Firefox/8.0a1 Setting resolution to NEW
