I am having a problem using "Page Down" with Firefox 99.0.1 64 Bit on Windows 10. Specifically, when I click on the "PgDn" button the page only goes down for a few clicks then it goes back to the top of the page on the next click. I am having the same problem with "Arrow Down," "Mouse Wheel Down," etc.

You may have switched on caret browsing. You can toggle caret browsing off/on by pressing F7 (Mac: fn + F7).

  • Settings -> General: Browsing
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

Note that this is a Firefox accessibility feature.

Thank you for your reply but "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages" is already unchecked and pressing F7 did not help.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
