Able to reproduce: Clicking in there and pressing left or right makes the caret hit an invisible wall at either parenthesis.

Not able to reproduce: Double clicking on the text and then pressing (left or) right makes it scroll into the bottom two paragraphs.

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%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
