I found a possible fix for "page up/page down" keys not working.
You will need to turn off caret browsing in firefox by either:
1. toggle it with F7
2. goto Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General Tab > "uncheck" the "allow text to be selected with the keyboard" option

My OSX 10.3.9 works Ok with Firefox 1.5.0.1
 and I have that box " unchecked "

Thanks for the suggestion Bob.

I do not have the box checked and if I hit F7 it asks if I want to turn caret browsing on. I am fairly sure it has always been off.

I am still using 10.3.8 but Philippe says he has the same problem and he is using 10.3.9.

Now it has developed another quirk. If I hide Firefox when I reactivate it the window is mostly blank, the top menus are gone so I can't refresh, but if I ask for a new tab the tab underneath reappears!

It is all too difficult, I think I shall have an early night and think about it again in the morning.
