Bug? Scrolling Stops Working After Links Followed

[Darren Black]

When I type shift-f and the number for a link (any link, any page),
scrolling stops working. h and k work but j and l do not, C-f and C-b
work, as to the arrow key equivalents to all of these. Home and end
stop working as well (I don't know what vim's home/end macro is).

This also happens when I'm on pages where "clicking" on something
activates a bit of js, like loading a larger version of an image or
changing a tab, and I type f and tell it to "click" on those links.

firefox 21.0a2 (specifically iceweasel) on debian wheezy

I'm getting this constantly without even interacting with the page. Scrolling ability comes and goes randomly, affecting space, j, k, gg, G, PgUp/Down, Ctrl Home/End.

Using Arch Linux, FF 21.0, with hg6924.  If you can tell me how and what to log I will do anything I can to help fix this bug as it's completely debilitating.

I should say not all keys become non-functional at the same time: if gg stops working sometimes PgUp will still work, sometimes I'll have to reach for the mouse.

This is definitely a regression with Firefox 21. I upgraded yesterday,
and have been facing this problem since then.

One way is to deal with this is to click on the page with the mouse, or
another option is to select the root frame of the page using ";F".
