Now that keyconfig extension is no longer compatible with the recent browser version. Is there anyway to disable spacebar as pagedown to prevent it from scrolling?

I created a user script which I think prevents this. A user script is a snippet of code that is run in the context of the web page. You can apply userscripts using any of these extensions (you only need one):

Sounds more like a keyboard problem then a Browser issue. A working Browser will not do what your saying.

Hi WestEnd, if you click on an empty area of a page, not in a form field, the space bar works like Page Down, and Shift+Spacebar works like Page Up. At least that's what I see on Windows 7.

Thanks for giving me an idea. I changed it to (key.keyCode === 32) for it to work though.
