I am starting to noticed that more and more web sites are supporting
and using left and right arrow keys to go previous and next
pages/images.

For an example:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/26/google-acquisitions-timeline_n_696063.html


I click left arrow to a previous article and right arrow for the next
article. I see this in both Mozilla's Firefox v2.0.0.20 (probably the
same in v3.6.8) and SeaMonkey v2.0.6 web browsers. I could not
reproduce this is in old Internet Explorer v6 (IE6).

Is there a way to disable this annoyance? I use keyboard a lot to
navigate online, including web sites.

As Ed says, it's javascript. Short of disabling javascript entirely on
those pages, you'd have to find the script that's catching your
keypresses and block it. There are other approaches to blocking bits
of javascript, but I usually use AdBlock Plus for it. In the case of
huffpost, this filter will work:

As Ed also said, if you block javascript you totally undo the page
navigation. There is no solution to the OP's issue.


When I tried the OP's link, the SM 2.0.6 "navigation bar" comes on but
each button is grayed out and inactive. ( have java and javascript on )

Are you saying that the Navigation Bar is javascript dependent?
