On other browsers tapping the page up/page down keys moves the page a line or two. TenFourFox moves it a full page on my PowerPC G4. As a result I seldom use TenFourFox because I forget the different behavior of this browser and I have to change my line spacing another way. Is there a fix for this? If not I would like to see this changed on a future update.

    This is the standard behaviour of Firefox. Since TenFourFox is based in large part on Firefox and local changes must be carried along, generally I don't incorporate changes of this nature unless there is a significant performance regression or evidence that the issue is a large-scale concern. If Firefox changes how these keys behave, then that behaviour will also be picked up in TenFourFox. On the other hand, if you are asserting that the behaviour is different from mainline Firefox 17, I would consider that a bug and attempt to fix it.

    That said, there may be addons available to adjust this behaviour, though I don't personally know of any. Chris may be able to suggest.

    I'm not sure if I understand the problem. The page up/down keys on the keyboard do exactly what they're named after: moving one page up or down, while the arrow keys move one or two lines up or down. I tried SeaMonkey, Camino, IE 5, Opera, Safari, Firefox 3.6, TenFourFox and OmniWeb, they all do this the same way. I'm not aware of any Add-ons that change this behavior.
