After a gap of 5 days I updated to latest nightly. Now keyboard navigation on many pages stops working after I move forward or backward. I return to a page in my history, and space to advance, PageUp, PageDown, and arrow keys all do nothing. Weird.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page like http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/date.html. Also http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23, even http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/
2. Click a link.
3. Return to the first page using Alt+Left Arrow, or back arrow in toolbar, or History > Back.
4. Now try to navigate the page with the keyboard: Space, arrow keys, PageUp, PageDown.
Actual Results:
No keyboard navigation to advance the web page works. (But tab to advance to next link, Ctrl-F or / to search work all work.) Clicking in the page doesn't help, nor does switching to another tab or window.
The workaround is to reload the page (Ctrl-R). But this bug makes pages in Firefox feel dead, hence major severity.
I sometimes see
Warning: reference to undefined property this._lastLocation.port
Source File: chrome://browser/content/browser.js
Line: 7454
in the Error Console, but not exactly on these steps.
Expected Results:
Scrolling the page using the keyboard should work.
My only add-ons are:
Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4 (I tried disabling this, no change)
ChatZilla 0.9.81 (wasn't open)
Nightly Tester Tools 1.3
