Why is 'pg up/pg down' now moving the page back and forward, not scrolling like it used to?

I just updated to Firefox 4, and suddenly my 'pg up' and 'pg dn' are different. Instead of scrolling up and down like normal, they change the page to the previous page or go forward to the next.
This is really infuriating, because I use paging up and down all the time, and suddenly I don't have these functions any more. I don't want to be scrolling back and forward between web pages just by pressing one button - I can click the 'back' option at the top of the page easily enough if thats what I want.
I've had a look through the options, and searched through all the faqs, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Please help - I want my scrolling back!

On Mac the scroll bars can be hidden and only have them show when you scroll the page so you can see the current scroll position.
The idea is that a touch pad is used that doesn't require the scroll bars to be visible and thus have more screen estate for the browsing area.
You can make the scroll bars always visible:
*System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bar > Choose "Always"

Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari?

Now that iPad has multitasking gestures, why don't they just add a gesture for going back and forward in safari? Just like in a mac, with the multitouch gestures. The osx Lion got the launchpad idea from the ios, so why don't the ios gets something from osx?

You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. What OS X version are you using? What model Canon printer? Canon printers have a test print capability (open the Printer Utility). What happens when you do a test print? Are all the printer cartridges in their proper location? Sometimes when you print "black", the printer uses a mixture of the colors to get "black". In the Printer Utility, check the levels of the other cartridges. There may be one color that is clogged.

I reset my toolbars and now no longer see the "page back" or "page forward" icons on the top left corner of the screen

just loaded the new version of firefox. i went into "library" and told the computer to forget the mp3tube toolbar and it got rid of all the toolbars and also shows no search engine in new tabs, and has no page back or page forward arrows in top left corner of screen. how do i at least get the page back and forward function enabled?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in Full Screen mode with all toolbars hidden.
* Press F11 to toggle full screen mode (Firefox/File > Full Screen)
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

I plugged my iphone in to my laptop to update it and the computer shut down right at the end. My phone now has the itunes symbol and an arrow asking me to plug my phone into itunes (I assume the laptop). It's frozen like that even when switched off

On my iPhone 4s, I sent a picture via email and asked to size it down. However, it seems now that the pic stored on my iphone is now forever the smaller size which is not suitable for printing. Is there any way to get the larger size back?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde

How has moving the Home button and the refresh button improved Firefox? Peo grow accustomed to the location of features, moving them does not improve the browser.

Moving the location of features such as the Home button and the sometimes refresh button does not improve the function of the browser. It simply forces users to re-learn the location of these features and put up with the associated inconvenience. Why, what have you gained?

what a ridiculous reply. moving the home button is a pain when it has been on he left for many years now. why the change? are you trying to mimic ie? i hope not.
it doesn't create more space on the toolbar - in fact he default setting for firefox 4 removes space. by moving the home buttons and other buttons back it increases the space back to where it was before.
also why did the history button change to be a button on its own rather thn attached to the forward / back buttons?
to say it's not worth changing it for one person is a nonsense answer. i know loads of people who say it sucks so have had to customize it to change it back to how it was.

I upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes

Need assistance with recent upgrade. I installed 6.1.2 and now my iPad is sluggish and will not play music from iTunes.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.
