When I browse the Internet with Firefox I get annoyed because there is a visible cursor that hinders me to scroll up and down with arrow keys or page up/down keys. I have to move the scroll bar to go up and down. If I press an arrow key I only get to the top or the bottom of the page.

When I click text on a page the cursor shows up and I can't get rid of it. There is no similar problem with Chrome for example.

It is like browsing with MS Word. I hate it.

You may be in Caret Browsing mode. Tap the F7 key to turn Caret Browsing on (warning pop-up displayed) or off (no warning pop-up displayed).
