Page Up/Down, Spacebar, Tab don't work to navigate within page

[Henry H]

Binary package hint: firefox

Just started experiencing some strange behavior without making any chances to firefox. At first I thought it was my keyboard and I had that replaced but the problem continues.

I can use page up/down, spacebar, tab when in textboxes or other applications, but it no longer functions when I want to navigate around a page. Spacebar should scroll down when I hit it and tab should take me to the next widget or link.

Control-page up/down still takes me to previous and next tabs and spacebar works when I'm in an actual textbox but I've lost the capability to navigate or scroll the page with the keys.

I already checked the F7 thing with the caret browsing and it's turned off. Any ideas?

Noticed a couple of other things as well - I cannot use ctrl-C to copy selected text. I have to actually right-mouse click and hit copy. So strange.

Same problems for me, and in my case it turns out to be the recent delicious plugin update 2.1.102.

Lots of people with same issue here:

(Should have read further in those reviews and commented that, for now at least, you can get non-broken version 2.1.073 from here: http://delicious.com/help/installff)

Are you still having this issue? Please read the comments above and let us know.

No, I am no longer having this issue. I believe it was the delicious bookmark addon. I've switched to Chrome since then but when I tried firefox recently, there was no issue.
