If your Firefox give no respond when you click the Page Up, Page Down, Home or End button, you might have activated caret browsing. You might also notice that there will be a blinking text cursor when you click on a passage or text on a website.
You might have accidentally activated the caret browsing without noticing it and started scolding when those buttons won’t work.
To solve the problem, just simply press on the F7 key.

Good Hint.
Any ideas how to get back the menu bar?
That is the “File Edit View … ” line.
Curious thing is that when I open a new window I do get the menu back but not in the current window.

Thanks! I had figured some sites were Firefox Hostile, but in checking against some other broswers, the pgup pgdn keys did work. So, In googling, your post came up to the top.
I give you Thanks!
(you too google guys.)

I was having the same problem….I thought it was a software bug. Thanks. I’m glad to have my scrolling back again without having to go to the touchpad ang go all the way over to the tiny down arrow on the scroll bar. I rate this as Very Helpful.

Thank you SO much! My cat (Velcro) took a nap on my keyboard, and when I returned, these buttons weren’t working, and neither was ‘Find’. This fixed both problems, thank you!
