In any textbox in MozillaFirefox from testing, the arrow keys do not move the cusor, Also, end/home do not work. PgUp/PgDown works...

This has been happening on many peoples machines. This is due to an importing settings bug from firefox .9.3. The quick and easy solution is to just delete your .mozilla/firefox directory. But, there is another solution. You can add these things to your compreg.dat file:
@mozilla.org/widget/native-key-bindings;1?type=editor,{f916ebfb-78ef-464b-94d0-a6f2ca3200ae}
@mozilla.org/widget/native-key-bindings;1?type=textarea,{2a898043-180f-4c8b-8e54-410c7a540f27}
@mozilla.org/widget/native-key-bindings;1?type=input,{5c337258-a580-472e-8615-f277ddc5bb06}
{5c337258-a580-472e-8615-f277ddc5bb06},,application/x-mozilla-static,,nsWidgetGtk2Module
{f916ebfb-78ef-464b-94d0-a6f2ca3200ae},,application/x-mozilla-static,,nsWidgetGtk2Module

Aparently this is a firefox bug, but a workaround should be applied. Maybe a script could be added to the package that could add this to the compreg?

But definately, something needs to be noted in the .install file. This is a very frustrating bug, and it needs to be straighted out before it goes into testing
This task depends upon

does renaming your compreg.dat fix it also?
