I want the home key to take me to the top of the current page, the end key to take me to the bottom.
It used to be that the home key took me to the top of the current page, the end key to the bottom. Recently it stopped doing this on some, not all, pages; sometimes the behavior kicks in, then stops again. It seems that they take me to the beginning and end of the current line instead. 'always use cursor keys to navigate within pages' is still on.

This seems to fix it - though it was variable. I don't know why I would start striking the F7 key inadvertently - I don't strike the other F keys inadvertently. I misinterpreted "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages" to mean the behavior I wanted. Changing browsewithcaret turned it off.

That is expected behavior when you have switched on caret browsing. That makes the cursor keys behave differently.
You can toggle caret browsing on/off by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).
- Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General > Accessibility: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"
Note that this is an accessibility feature of Firefox.

You would normally get a warning when you press F7 to enter caret browsing, so it is more likely that the change was made in Options/Preferences > Advanced > General.
Note that you disable this function of the F7 key by toggling accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false on the about:config page.
- accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled = true (default)
- accessibility.warn_on_browsewithcaret = true (default)
