Until I updated to Firefox 13.01 I could scroll pages with the space bar. Since I did the update I can no longer scroll with the space bar and also cannot use arrow cursor keys to navigate a page.

You may have switched on caret browsing.

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

Thanks! Fixed my problem. I must have hit the F7 key by accident.
