Default Loss of arrow keys in input boxes


Occasionally I'll be using the search box on Wikipedia or
Google with the latest version of FF with XP and my arrow keys
stop functioning ...

It isn't that I am using the far RHS ones and have NUMLOCK on,
the 5 arrow keys next to them aren't being recognised either...

Anyone else have this?

You using Tweakguides by any chance?
Does it occur if you start up in Firefox safe mode?

How about answering the questions they pose?
