My PgUp and PgDn Buttons are functioning like "Forward" and "Back" shortcuts, how do I stop this? I want my PgUp and PgDn Scrolling back.

My PgUp and PgDn no longer scrolls up and down pages using FF4. Instead, PgUp goes back a page, and PgDn goes forward a page. The shortcuts page doesn't state this anywhere (is this new?) I want it to go back to scrolling!

I have the same problem. If you are filling out a form, especially something related to membership or payment, the results can be catastrophic!

Some browser sessions may start normally, with Pgup/Pgdn functioning normally. But after a few pages of navigation, they start to behave like Fwd/Back browser buttons.

In other browser sessions, they malfunction right away.

At first I thought it was my brand-new laptop, because I'm not used to the keyboard yet-- but I'm not having this problem in IE8. It's driving me batty.
