arrow keys not working(some times) when I am using Firefox page up and page down also is not working(some times) Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit Firefox 3.6.8

[Tapas Mishra]

Binary package hint: ubufox

On my 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04
2.6.32-24-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 19 01:38:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I am facing two problems in using firefox

1) Arrow keys not working when I am using Firefox page up and page
down also is not working.
but this problem is not in Chrome version 7 on same system.

2) Some times when I type some thing in search box or some box using
Firefox for example when I was typing subject of this email
"arrow keys not working when I am using Firefox page up and page down
also is not working Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit Firefox 3.6.8"
after typing arr I kept typing rest of the subject line but nothing
came on the subject box
I had to finally open gedit and then type the subject to post.

What could be the problem.

The hardware is Dell Inspiron 1440.

By disabling
Ubuntu Firefox Modification addon 0.9rc2 got me rid of all the
problems on the same list I had asked a problem
with subject
"Firefox 3.6.8 clicks not working properly for Youtube videos on
Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit"

can check my previous thread here
http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?26,126425,126471
the above problem and the problem which
I reported in this thread both were solved.

Unfortunately, disabling the Ubuntu Firefox add-on pack does not fix the issue for me.
I initially tried setting dom.ipc.plugins.enabled from "false" to "true". This worked until I restarted Firefox.
I then disabled the Ubuntu FFox add-on, no change. Reverted dom.ipc.plugins to false, no change.

ubuntu64:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu64 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Up to date on patches.

I upgraded to latest firefox 4 beta on Lucid 64 bit with all updates installed this problem is there in that also.

As per the instructions given on
http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/07/install-firefox-4-0-beta-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
I upgraded to latest firefox since I am unable to have videos being
watched on firefox in my system.
I disabled
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled
from "false" to "true"
also disabled Ubuntu firefox modifications
and there are no plugins installed.
