On the netbook Firefox has got itself into some sort of weird StickyKeys type situation where PgUp and PgDn are acting as Forward and Back a page, rather than scrolling. Is this something I've caused to occur in my random key bashing or is it a new feature in one of the bi-hourly updates? More importantly can I make it stop?

Thanks in advance etc.

The solution is:
1. Go to about:config
2. Find ui.elantech_gesture_hacks.enabled
3. Change its value from -1 to 0
4. Restart FF
5. If you run into a bug that option was designed to fix (non-working page swipe gestures), install the latest Elantech driver ( http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/14513/) and reboot.

Check your keyboard settings, update firefox to 5, then if it's still a problem use the arrow keys..?

Or that ^

Nice one guys, didn't think I'd set it off myself.
