I worked around this problem by wiping my firefox profile completely.
Safe mode did not help, only completely wiping the profile.

Title:
page up/page down/home/end don't work properly in firefox 29
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
To reproduce:
1. Go to youtube.com (logged in or not, doesn't matter.)
2. Press page down: nothing happens.
3. Click the grey background of the page.
3. Press page down: you go instantly to the bottom of the page.
4. Press page up a few times: you are stuck at the bottom.
5. Press home/end: they don't work at all.
This bug is not only limited to youtube.com, it happens on many
websites.
It is not something that I ever noticed with Firefox 28 and earlier.
I have reproduced the bug in safe mode.
