[Bug 1660380] [NEW] ^N stopped working

[Thom]

Public bug reported:

On the latest firefox update, ctrl-n stopped working as a key to move
one line down in text boxes. It now fires up a screen full of new
windows. Installing the Keybinder extension I managed to disable this
horrible Windows-like waste of good keys, but ctrl-n still does not work
in text boxes. It used to. ctrl-p, ctrl-b, ctrl-f, ctrl-e, and ctrl-a
work like they should.
