Loss of focus
I used to have to click on a message every now and then to establish focus before paging keys would work. Since the latest revision or two of Firefox I have to establish focus on EVERY page before paging keys work. Please fix the Focus problelm.

Is this with many web pages, some, a few?
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).
Is the problem still there?
The Menu does not contain the item " Restart with Add-ons Disabled...".
That is odd. Type about:support in the address bar and press enter. On the top-right should be a link to 'try Safe Mode.'
Wierd! I restarted safe and brought up Hotmail. The first few messages worked perfectly but then it was back to having to click to reset focus for each message.
How do I get Ad Blocker to work? I can't stand these flashing ads. It says it can be accessed from the tool bar. How?

Not the best idea to have two similar add-ons installed.
Ad-Aware Ad Block 1.2.1.028 Adblock Plus 2.8.2
Try disabling Ad-Aware Ad Block and see if that helps.
I thought restarting in safe mode would eliminate both.
That fixed Ad Block. Where do I go with the focus problem?
Using Safe Mode disables all add-ons.
Your System Details shows;
Extensions;
Ad-Aware Ad Block 1.2.1.028
Adblock Plus 2.8.2
Having more than one program to do the same job may cause issues.
Pick one and disable it. Restart Firefox.
After a test run, switch (restart FF) and see what works better for you.
So I've been running in safe mode and paging keys do not work unless I click for focus.
I called for more help.
