The Home and End keys does not work correctly in Firefox recently. 1. Visit this page: https://tinhte.vn/threads/luong-cua-2-vo-chong-bao-nhieu-moi-co-the-mua-xe-hoi.2991349/?fbclid=IwAR2HNF0sDrqXAZUdmGio5PDmTuS0pRoblviZlgpD9y3DqZOxnkTuFBSugE4

2. Scroll down about half page. 3. Click on some point in the page 4. Press Home key 5 . Expected result: it scrolls up to the beginning of the page 6. Observed result: it scrolls at the previous clicked point. Please help. I've tried it in Safe mode of Firefox, and got the same isssue, while it works well in Chrome browser.

You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can toggle caret browsing off/on by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).

  • Options/Preferences -> General: Browsing
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Note that this is a Firefox accessibility feature.

I had no problem with that web page.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?

While you are in safe mode;

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
