for some reason the last few days my page up and down buttons don't work good. i can't page down until i click in the frame anywhere and then it will only do one page. and sometimes it will go to the bottom of the page and will not allow it to page back up. and i have to click in the frame to get it to work. i opened explorer and that works good. and my wife's computer using Firefox 3.6 and it still works good. i don't see anyplace in the help that will let me change the settings.

You may have switched on caret browsing.

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