Firefox, anyone know how to use the up/down or page up/down keys fully?

This is more about the forum than the browser as my page up and down keys work on other sites, just here in a long thread i can't scroll with the keys.

Anyone know how to do this well?

Did you try Tools/Options/Advanced/General and see how things are setup?

Seem to work fine here. Sure you aren't just mashing your face on the keyboard?

I have no problems using the arrow keys or PGUP/PGDN. You can also use Space to scroll down a page. Do you have a script or extension setup for Anandtech.com which is interfering with the keys?

This thread for example

I can go to the bottom and page up just fine and it stops at about 4 pages up.

The buttons work, but they sort of get hung up on the page at spots.

Never noticed this before the forum change/firefox updates.

*EDIT*: Always use cursor keys to navigate was causing the problem. I turned it off and I can now move fine....wierd.

your focus is probably on the quick reply box, if so press tab (to move off it) then they'll work again.

it's was fixed by unclicking that setting I mentioned.

The space thing is cool. I didn't know that until now.

that also works in IE and some other windows apps.
