Firefox not responding to the "Home" and "End" keys. Instead of scrolling the page, it's reverting to the beginning of a text line or not responding at all. Please help.

I am currently facing trouble when trying to use the standard keyboard commands such as Home/End/Page Up/Page Down on Firefox.

The browser does not respond to the same.

Even the arrow keys take some time to elicit a response. Please help.

You may have switched on caret browsing: press F7 to toggle

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works

Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Accessibility: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.warn_on_browsewithcaret

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false.
