Why doesn't my page down/up keys work with the new version of FireFox?

Since updating to Firefox version 6.0.2 and earlier (started with 6.0) my page down/up and the arrow keys do not work in navigating websites. I am using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop running Vista software. Earlier versions of Firefox ran with no problems and I love the browser; but this bug is very frustrating. I even went back to IE and Safari and have no issues with the aforementioned keys. HELP

You may have switched on caret browsing.

You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.
