Alright... so apparently Firefox is being a whore. When I scroll down on a webpage, any webpage, sometimes I need to go back to the top of the page. So instead of scrolling my way up, I simply hit, "Home" and if I want to go to the bottom of the page, I simply hit, "End".
Well for some reason, this morning my "Home" & "End" keys were not working. Out of curiosity I decided to re-install Microshit Internet Explorer just to test it out. And fortunately for my keyboard, the "Home" & "End" keys were working. I decide to go back onto Firefox and try a combination of keys using the "Home" & "End" keys. ALT+ doesn't work. But I found out that CTRL+ does work. So... my question to anyone here is: How the hell do I change it back to default so I don't have to press and hold the CTRL+ key?!?!?!!?!!!! In Ubuntu 8.10 it works fine same with Windows Vista Ultimate. All OS' have the latest and updated Firefox.

QUOTE(9001 @ Mar 26 2009, 04:48 PM)  Still works for me. You just suck at firefox. Apparently you missed the whole, "it's a bug" post.. the 2nd post that is. QUOTE(mipadi @ Mar 26 2009, 05:42 PM) It's a bug in Firefox. Certain pages cause Home and End to fail to function. Not exactly sure why, but often it has to do with text areas in forms, combined with hot keys built into the form. Ya, funny enough... I sometimes see my cursor blinking in odd places of pages, as if I can just start typing onto the page lol.. Ah well, gonna have to get used to using CTRL+Home/End =\ QUOTE(hypnotique @ Mar 26 2009, 05:48 PM) I didnt even know you could do that. Thanks =] QUOTE(jcp @ Mar 26 2009, 07:13 PM) WOW! Thanks for telling me about this! I didnt know the end and home keys could do that! lol np... in a computer business when you're dealing with troubleshooting, you tend to use your keyboard more than your mouse to get from point A to point Z  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Recorded this just so you can see this weird crap -.- |

When I get home, I'll try F7 and see if that fixes it. Does F7 enable and disable caret browsing? Also if you want to downgrade for any reason, you go here: http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php |
