F5 used to refresh (and show pictures normal, not as pop-ups in Facebook) but now it throws me back to my home page. How to correct this?

SOLVED: You have to disable/enable the Action Keys from the BIOS settings.

This can now be achieved with Ctrl+F5. but it's really clumsy to use. How to disable the F5 = home page entirely? I downloaded the Customizable Shortcuts -add-on, but to no avail. I'm using Firefox 6.0.2. on Windows 7.

F5 is a normal reload and content can be retrieved from the cache. Ctrl+F5 reloads and bypasses the cache, so there is a difference.
