On my desktop the up and down arrows do not work, they do work when plugged into my laptop.

I uninstalled Firefox, deleted the folder from Win XP and custom re-installed (asking for information not be transferred) . To my surprise my bookmarks had not gone. .Neither had the problem. The up & down arrows do work on Internet Explorer (which I very rarely use). How can I totally remove Firefox before a clean re-install as a first step to solving the problem?

Try hitting F7 and see if that changes the action of those arrow keys.
