If you’re having trouble scrolling through your Firefox window with the up/down arrow keys or the home/end keys, there’s a fix for you. To scroll with the up/down arrow keys, hold down the control key and press the up or down arrow key. To scroll with the home/end keys, hold down the alt key and press one of those buttons. ..


When this problem happens, you’ll notice that moving the arrow keys around just moves the cursor around the page. Annoying!

The problem is because you tripped the Caret Browsing feature at some point, and accidentally hit Yes.

To fix this, you can just hit the F7 key again. Or, if you want to do it the about:config way, filter by accessibility.browsewithcaret and make sure it’s set to false.

Remember, you can double-click on any boolean value to toggle between true and false.
