I confirm the issue comes from the keypress event which don't fire anymore for
arrow keys - and this is causing the problem.
Here is another example (it uses jquery) :

Firefox fire keypress for arrows, but as you said IE 6 and 7 don't (and now
webkit ...).

Why was that behaviour changed, was it causing issues ?
Matching IE is not a reason if it's not an issue or not against standards IMHO
;)
Many tech-aware sites use firefox features to allow richer user experience like
this one.
