I use my keyboard arrows keys to navigate reading webpages. During the last few days the "down" arrow no longer moves one line at a time, but instead moves to the end of the whole page

You may have switched on caret browsing: press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works

Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Accessibility: [ ] "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages"

In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false on the about:config page if you do not want to use this feature.
