Due to a long-standing bug in Firefox, NVDA goes into focus mode upon launch if Firefox has the primary focus. This essentially means that you can only navigate by using tab and shift+tab keys. To prevent this, make sure that an application other than Firefox has focus when you start NVDA. Restarting Firefox when NVDA is running also resolves this issue.

Subject: [WebAIM] up/down arrow navigation in NVDA
Hi all,
anyone else experience issues where you sometimes can and sometimes can't
navigate a page using the up and down arrows in NVDA and Firefox? I was
testing something today and the same page worked fine before, but now the
arrows make the page scroll. I also went to a WebAIM page and the same
thing happened. Is there a setting in NVDA that I need to adjust?
Thanks,
Mike
