Summary: Reducing the brightness of the laptop screen using Fn keys on keyboard stops navigation in firefox. Observed it with Kubuntu 8.10, FF 3.0.3
Steps to reproduce: 1. To reproduce, one should first have a laptop, with the concerned version of FF (or newer) installed. The laptop should support changing of brightness using keyboard/dedicated keys. In my case, I use Fn+F9 on keyboard to reduce brightness. 2. Now launch firefox. 3. Open a heavy page that would take some time to load at your bandwidth 4. While the page loads/opens, lower the brightness of your screen using the keyboard keys. Expected Result: Reducing brightness should not have any effect on page loading. Actual Result: Loading of the page stops immediately on reducing brightness as if the "Stop loading this page" button or the Esc key is pressed. For example, if I press the Esc key while loading ubuntuforums.org, the page loading is stopped and the page pauses at an incomplete loaded position (ie, maybe just the logo managed to load). Same happens on reducing brightness. Note: Bug *cannot* be reproduced when reducing brightness using the software control. It appears when using brightness control keys for the laptop. Hope I could express myself clearly.
