Hi,

Just upgraded to Firefox 4 from 3.x

Unfortunately PAGE UP/DOWN keys now act as previous/next page!!!

I've googled and tried F7 to no avail...

A bug?

Same problem. Also ctrl+pgup/pgdn doesn't work. For now, i'm using mouse scrolling and using ctrl+n to switch between tabs. Hope it gets resolved soon.

I've solved my original problem!  :-)

I installed Chrome, which I find is a better browser, and uninstalled Firefox!!!

A shame Firefox 4 was so buggy, but I suggest anyone to give Chrome a try. From PCMAG :-

Chrome's Instant feature, built-in Flash and PDF reader, auto-updating, and great speed give it some serious advantages, however. And its full sandboxing for security further tips the odds in its favor, making it the best of the big three browser to release in the last week or so. Chrome 10 fights off IE9 and Firefox 4 to retain our Editors' Choice for browsers.

Same problem. Restart Firefox 4.0 will temporary fix this problem.

But, I must restart more than 10 times in 15 minutes.

Now I use "space bar" to replace page down, and use "shift+space bar" to exercise page up. But still, a silly problem.
