Bug Description

On the latest firefox update, ctrl-n stopped working as a key to move one line down in text boxes. It now fires up a screen full of new windows. Installing the Keybinder extension I managed to disable this horrible Windows-like waste of good keys, but ctrl-n still does not work in text boxes. It used to. ctrl-p, ctrl-b, ctrl-f, ctrl-e, and ctrl-a work like they should.

Installing the Firemacs extension doens't help either. Ctrl-N is completely stolen by something in Firefox even after disabling the horrible window creation binding. No problems in other programs.
