I am also having trouble where when I hit the down button in FF it takes me to the bottom of the page, and I cannot get it to scroll back up. I am not able to just scroll down a little bit. If I then double click on the webpage and the cursor finds a place in the text (sort of as if I was scrolling through a word document and the cursor goes line by line, then there is no problem). No problems in IE or other programs, only FF. I have checked to see if caret browsing is on and it was not. Anyone have any suggestions?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

a few weeks back

Hit the F7 key to turn off Caret browsing. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.browsewithcaret

You can try to toggle the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret directly on the about:config page if pressing F7 doesn't work. --- Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window - See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
